  1. Co-druggable: interactions where treatment with the drug alone yielded signaling activity different to that of the healthy-like state. Columns 1–3: Signaling activity of a given interaction as assessed by modeling in healthy, untreated MS and treated MS. Column 4: Co-druggability score calculated based on differences between columns 1-3. Column 5: Difference present between treated and MS signaling. Column 6: Absence of a difference in interaction between healthy and treated signaling. Column 7: Combination of columns 4, 5 and 6 to identify interactions deregulated (i) by the disease and not reverted to healthy state by treatment or (ii) by an off-target signaling effect by the primary drug (see “Methods”)
