          Abstract

          On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a new disease caused by a novel virus characterized by rapid human-to-human transmission and named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronoavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) a pandemic. In terms of this ongoing international scenario, we report the situation in Apulia, a region of southern Italy that, as of April 2, has not yet been overwhelmed by this health emergency. In particular, we consider the care models that have been adopted, especially those that manage the requests of cancer patients.

          A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019

          Na Zhu, Dingyu Zhang, Wenling Wang … (2020)
          Summary In December 2019, a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was linked to a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China. A previously unknown betacoronavirus was discovered through the use of unbiased sequencing in samples from patients with pneumonia. Human airway epithelial cells were used to isolate a novel coronavirus, named 2019-nCoV, which formed a clade within the subgenus sarbecovirus, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily. Different from both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, 2019-nCoV is the seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that infect humans. Enhanced surveillance and further investigation are ongoing.

              Personalized Cancer Models for Target Discovery and Precision Medicine

              Carla Grandori, Christopher Kemp (2018)
              Although cancer research is progressing at an exponential rate, translating this knowledge to develop better cancer drugs and more effectively match drugs to patients is lagging. Genome profiling of tumors provides a snapshot of the genetic complexity of individual tumors, yet this knowledge is insufficient to guide therapy for most patients. Model systems -usually cancer cell lines or mice – have been instrumental in cancer research and drug development, but translation of results to the clinic is inefficient, in part, because these models do not sufficiently reflect the complexity and heterogeneity of human cancer. Here, we discuss the potential of combining genomics with high throughput functional testing of patient derived tumor cells to overcome key roadblocks in both drug target discovery and precision medicine.
