We investigated the impact of antiviral treatment on the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 resistance during persistent infections in immunocompromised patients (n = 15). All patients received remdesivir and some also received nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (n = 3) or therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (n = 4). Sequence analysis showed that nine patients carried viruses with mutations in the nsp12 (RNA dependent RNA polymerase), while four had viruses with nsp5 (3C protease) mutations.

This study introduces breast cancer cell-of-origin signatures that offer significant prognostic value across all breast cancer subtypes and various clinical cohorts, compared to previously developed genomic signatures.
Methods: We previously reported that triple hormone receptor (THR) co-expression patterns of androgen (AR), estrogen (ER), and vitamin D (VDR) receptors are maintained at the protein level in human breast cancers.
Unlabelled: Prostate cancer (PCa) is currently the most commonly diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States. The development of metastases is associated with a poor prognosis in PCa patients. Since current clinicopathological classification schemes are unable to accurately prognosticate the risk of metastasis for those diagnosed with localized PCa, there is a pressing need for precise and easily attainable biomarkers of metastatic risk in these patients.
