Secretory Phospholipase A2 Digital Expression Analysis in Colon Adenocarcinoma.

Background/aim: Phospholipases A2 represent a family of enzymes that regulate the metabolism of phospholipids by hydrolyzing them into fatty acids. Secretory phospholipase A2 (SPLA2) catalyzes the calcium-dependent 2-acyl groups hydrolysis to produce 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. This study aimed to investigate SPLA2 expression in colon adenocarcinoma (CA).

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on oral carcinoma patients.

Coronavirus-related Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) in 2002/2003, Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-Cov) in 2012/2013, and especially the current 2019/2020 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) tested the national health systems' endurance worldwide. In order to fight this emergency situation, a variety of pharmaceutical companies focused on the design and development of efficient vaccines that are considered necessary for providing a level of normalization in totally affected human social-economical activity worldwide. COVID-19 led to an increased uncertainty in the field of oncological patients' management disrupting the normal conditions of therapeutic and monitoring procedures.
