Introduction: Fenofibrate is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α), that possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-thrombotic properties. Fenofibrate is effective against a variety of viral infections and different inflammatory disorders. Therefore, the aim of critical review was to overview the potential role of fenofibrate in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and related complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Identifying cancer driver genes from numerous mutations is a significant challenge due to genetic variability among tumors, making it hard to differentiate between actual driver mutations and non-driver mutations.
  • We developed a new method that uses various types of biological information—like cellular characteristics and functions—to accurately pinpoint cancer driver genes and understand their impact across different cancer types.
  • Our approach successfully recognized known driver genes and uncovered new potential candidates, validated through whole exome and genome sequencing in nasopharyngeal and colorectal cancers.

This cross-sectional study is aimed at assessing the quality of life in a cohort of breast cancer patients at the Oncology Department, King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (SA), and to differentiate QoL among different groups. Mean time since diagnosis was 3.97±1.

Molecular profiling and functional assessment of signalling pathways of advanced solid tumours are becoming increasingly available. However, their clinical utility in guiding patients' treatment remains unknown. Here, we assessed whether molecular profiling helps physicians in therapeutic decision making by analysing the molecular profiles of 1057 advanced cancer patient samples after failing at least one standard of care treatment using a combination of next-generation sequencing (NGS), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and other specific tests.
