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 .

Breaking the cellular defense: the role of autophagy evasion in virulence.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol

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.
