This up-to-date commentary/perspective article sheds light on the revolutionary approaches designed to target the principal viral weapon “RNA” used by RNA viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) to infect humans and spread infections. These tactics depend on exploiting the weaknesses of this bioweapon to disable or attack it, stop viral reproduction, and terminate microbial infection (e.g., COVID-19).

Clinical trial data management is increasingly challenging as studies grow in complexity. Quickly accessing and analyzing study data is vital for assessing trial progress and patient safety. In this paper, we explore real-time data access and analysis for proactive study management. We investigate using adverse event (AE) data to monitor safety and discuss a clinical analytics platform that supports collaboration and data review workflows.

In summary, metadherin (MTDH) knockdown in combination with MK-2206 enhanced the effects of chemosensitivity by inhibiting the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase-3beta pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Our knowledge of the precise role played by MTDH in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression may enable MTDH knockdown and MK-2206 to serve as an innovative chemosensitive therapeutic in patients with TNBC.
