- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a very aggressive and hard-to-treat cancer that hasn't seen much improvement in treatments for over 15 years.
- Researchers looked at a database to find weak points in SCLC that could help develop new therapies.
- They discovered that two important genes, SKP2 and CKS1B, are crucial for SCLC and blocking SKP2 could be a promising way to treat patients, no matter what specific type of cancer they have.

- The study explores the willingness to pay (WTP) for COVID-19 booster doses in Indonesia, revealing that 66.2% of surveyed respondents are willing to pay, primarily within the range of 100,000-500,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 6.71-33.57).
- Factors like being over 40, higher education, greater income, awareness about booster importance, and certification of vaccine status (Islamic law) positively correlate with a higher WTP.
- The findings suggest that WTP for paid booster doses is significantly lower than acceptance for free vaccines, indicating a need for government subsidies and public education on vaccination and ongoing COVID-19 risks.
