Integrative assessment of CIP2A overexpression and mutational effects in human malignancies identifies possible deleterious variants.

KIAA1524 is the gene encoding the human cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A) protein which is regarded as a novel target for cancer therapy. It is overexpressed in 65%-90% of tissues in almost all studied human cancers. CIP2A expression correlates with cancer progression, disease aggressivity in lung cancer besides poor survival and resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer.

A review of monoclonal antibodies in COVID-19: Role in immunotherapy, vaccine development and viral detection.

The harmful COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus imposes the scientific community to develop or find conventional curative drugs, protective vaccines, or passive immune strategies rapidly and efficiently. Passive immunity is based on recovering hyper-immune plasma from convalescent patients, or monoclonal antibodies with elevated titer of neutralizing antibodies with high antiviral activity, that have potential for both treatment and prevention. In this review, we focused on researching the potentiality of monoclonal antibodies for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection.
