The introduction of biologics into otorhinolaryngology has marked a significant shift in the management of complex and chronic ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) conditions. This review delves into the mechanisms, clinical applications, and evidence supporting the use of biologics in treating disorders such as chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, head and neck cancer, and autoimmune inner ear disease. By examining current research and clinical trials, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the transformative impact of biologics and discusses future directions in this rapidly advancing field.

Noise is a ubiquitous feature for all organisms growing in nature. Noise (defined here as stochastic variation) in the availability of nutrients, water and light profoundly impacts their growth and development. Not only is noise present as an external factor but cellular processes themselves are noisy.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly heterogeneous disease that is frequently associated with a host of known oncogenic alterations. Advances in molecular diagnostics and drug development have facilitated the targeting of novel alterations such that the majority of NSCLC patients have driver mutations that are now clinically actionable. The goal of this review is to gain insights into clinical research and development principles by summary, analysis, and discussion of data on agents targeting known alterations in oncogene-driven, advanced NSCLC beyond those in the and the .

Many pathogens have evolved sophisticated strategies to evade autophagy, a crucial cellular defense mechanism that typically targets and degrades invading microorganisms. By subverting or inhibiting autophagy, these pathogens can create a more favorable environment for their replication and survival within the host. For instance, some bacteria secrete factors that block autophagosome formation, while others might escape from autophagosomes before degradation.

Specialized metabolites are molecules involved in plants' interaction with their environment. Elucidating their biosynthetic pathways is a challenging but rewarding task, leading to societal applications and ecological insights. Furanocoumarins emerged multiple times in Angiosperms, raising the question of how different enzymes evolved into catalyzing identical reactions.
