Provided are methods of selecting a patient with cancer and/or treating a patient with cancer that comprises a deleterious alteration in FBXW7 and/or an amplification of CCNL1 for CDK11 inhibitor and/or ATR inhibitor treatment. For example, the method of selecting a patient afflicted with a cancer likely to benefit from a CDK11 inhibitor and/or ATR inhibitor treatment, the method comprising: obtaining a biological sample; testing the sample for i) loss of function FBXW7, optionally for a deleterious mutation in F box WD-repeat containing protein (FBXW7) substrate binding domain and/or ii) upregulated CCNL1, optionally a gain or amplification of CCNL1; and selecting the patient having i) loss of function FBXW7, optionally a deleterious mutation in the FBWX7 substrate-binding domain or ii) upregulated CCNL1, optionally a gain or amplification of CCNL1, as likely to benefit and/or for treatment with the CDK11 inhibitor and/or ATR inhibitor.

Novel compositions, methods, assays and kits directed to a diagnostic panel for Alzheimer's disease are provided. In one embodiment, the diagnostic panel includes one or more proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.

A method of qualifying whether a cell population is a suitable therapeutic for treating an eye condition is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing co-expression of premelanosome protein (PMEL17) and at least one polypeptide selected from the group consisting of cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP), lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) and sex determining region Y-box 9 (SOX 9) in the population of cells.

The present invention relates to the field of cancer and inflammation, and in particular methods of monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, detecting, treating and preventing cancer and inflammation conditions. The use of composition comprises method of monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and detecting cancer and inflammation with EN2 and/or SATB2 expression and/or activity. The pharmaceutical composition will further comprise agents that inhibit EN2 and/or SATB2 expression or activity.

Provided are a method for predicting a risk of deterioration of a pathogenic condition of a patient suffering a coronavirus disease (COVID-19), especially a severe patient suffering a COVID-19 and a kit thereof. The method of the present application may effectively predict the deterioration of the pathogenic condition of the patient suffering a COVID-19, thereby carrying out clinical intervention in advance, to improve prognosis of the patient suffering a COVID-19. The present application finds for the first time that the level of a heparin-binding protein (HBP) can be used as a significant indicator for early predicting relapse of the patient suffering a COVID-19, expression time of an HBP indicator is around 5 days earlier than that of a series of other clinical indicators, and thus the HBP indicator particularly has a clinical value.

Provided are methods for detecting or isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a subject. The methods may include detecting the expression of at least one epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker. Further provided are kits for detecting or isolating CTCs. The kits may include antibodies to at least one EMT biomarker. Further provided are methods of predicting the responsiveness of a subject to a cancer drug, methods of targeting delivery of a cancer drug in a subject, methods of providing a cancer prognosis to a subject, and methods for following the progress of cancer in a subject.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using a measured urine concentration of one or more of TIMP2 and IGFBP7 in combination with one or more of a measured serum creatinine and a measured urine output, which results are correlated to the renal status of the subject, and can be used for diagnosis, prognosis, risk stratification, staging, monitoring, categorizing and determination of further diagnosis and treatment regimens in subjects suffering or at risk of suffering from an injury to renal function, reduced renal function, and/or acute renal failure.

The present invention relates to a method for screening an inhibitor of ATP11C or CDC50A, comprising determining (a) exposure of phosphatidylserine on cell surface, (b) engulfment of cells by macrophages, or (c) cleavage of ATP11C by caspase. The present invention also relates to a method for inducing engulfment of cells by macrophages, comprising inhibiting ATP11C or CDC50A.

The present disclosure relates to biosensors, kits and methods for detecting and/or quantifying lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in a liquid sample such as a serum sample from a subject. The present disclosure also relates to linker compounds that are useful, for example, in the biosensors, kits and methods of the present disclosure and to methods for preparing a biosensor for detecting and/or quantifying lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in a liquid sample.

The invention relates to using serum exosomal proteins, α-synuclein and clusterin, as biomarkers in the prediction and identification of a subject having Parkinson's Disease, and provides methods for determining their levels. The biomarkers are also useful for monitoring, prevention and/or treatment of Parkinson's Disease and in differentiating Parkinson's disease from atypical parkinsonian syndromes including MSA.
