The most common adult primary brain tumor, glioblastoma (GBM), is characterized by fifteen months median patient survival and has no clear etiology. We and others have identified the presence of human cytomegalovirus (HC...

Abstract Tumors and cancer cell lines exhibit varying levels of activation in interferon (IFN) pathways and expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). This heterogeneity correlates with differential susceptibility to onc...

Abstract Background Viral infections of tomato plants present a significant threat to tomato production and yield. Mixed viral infections are common in field-grown tomatoes and are known to exacerbate disease symptoms; h...

Transposable elements (TEs) make up almost half of the human genome and are among its most densely methylated regions. Their epigenetic silencing is crucial for genomic stability and immune homeostasis, and accumulating ...

BackgroundOn-demand gene editing of autologous cells offers a novel therapeutic option for inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) caused by dominant-negative variants, which are often poorly addressed by conventional viral gen...

Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a DNA virus linked to multiple malignancies associated with compromised immunity, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). These malignancie...

Abstract Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) is a central regulator of mosquito physiology, best known for its role in vitellogenesis. However, its contribution to antiviral defense and dengue virus (DENV) replication...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with viral or metabolic liver diseases is a growing cancer without effective therapy. AMPK is downregulated in HCC and its activation diminishes tumor growth. Alpha lipoic acid (...

Fowl adenovirus serotype 11 (FAdV-11) causes inclusion body hepatitis, posing a persistent threat to poultry health. However, the genetic determinants governing its pathogenicity remain unclear. Comparative analysis of p...

BackgroundX-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) due to CD40L deficiency typically presents in early childhood with recurrent sinopulmonary or opportunistic infections, and its initial manifestations can be misleading. We re...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Abstract Canine coronavirus type II (CCoV-II), an alphacoronavirus, is responsible for mild enteritis, especially in puppies, but due to its plasticity, it can also cause serious diseases in humans. Formyl peptide recept...

IntroductionThe emergence of immune-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants has exposed limitations in the breadth and durability of protection conferred by current Spike-based vaccines, highlighting the need for next-generation app...

Abstract Background Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a common human pathogen of herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), one of the leading causes of infectious blindness worldwide. Antiviral therapies remain limited by the...

Abstract Influenza A virus (IAV) infections play a substantial role in human disease, hospitalization, and economic loss. In an effort to better understand the intracellular effects that IAV replication has on individual...

The innate immune response to West Nile virus (WNV) infection involves recognition through toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), leading to establishment of an antiviral state. MiRNAs (miRNAs) have ...

La envoltura bacteriana de Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 tiene las características de una bacteria Gram positiva, pero además posee proteínas de superficie o Surface layers (S-layers), las cuales se asocian con ...

El virus linfo-trópico de células T humano de tipo I (HTLV-I) es un retrovirus asociado entre otras enfermedades a la leucemia de células T del adulto y la paraparesia espástica tropical. La patología es aparentemen...

Neospora caninum causes significant global economic losses due to abortions in cattle. Immunosuppression induced by viral infection worsens neosporosis. However, the innate immune mechanisms in N. caninum and BoAHV-1 co-...
