Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a hard to treat malignancy arising from the mesothelial surface of the pleura. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are considered a promising therapeutic strategy in many hardto- treat malignancies. In this review, we are trying to provide an in depth coverage of the prognostic value of immune checkpoints aberrations as well as discuss the different novel therapeutic strategies implementing these agents in the management of MPM.
Keywords: Mesothelioma, tremelimumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, immune, prognostic value.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
