Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

Annexin, a Protein for All Seasons: From Calcium Dependent Membrane Metabolism to RNA Recognition
Annexins are an important protein family traditionally well known to bind to phospholipids and to interact with various proteins in a calcium dependent way. More recently, it has been established that a feature common to the family is also to bind to RNA having a role in translation. In bies70019 article, Vedeler et al.

Enhanced HIV-1 immunotherapy by commonly arising antibodies that target virus escape variants [PDF]
Antibody-mediated immunotherapy is effective in humanized mice when combinations of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are used that target nonoverlapping sites on the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope.

Designing Cyclic Nitrogen‐Bridged Sulfonamides with Anti‐Cancer Activity
Nitrogen bridgehead compounds, especially cyclic sulfonamides, are an abundant motif in bioactive compounds. simple methods for the synthesis of nitrogen bridgehead sulfonamides is developed and their activity against cancer cell lines is explored. The N‐bridgehead heterocyclic structure is an abundant motif in a multitude of natural products.
