"IL28B polymorphism in chronic HBV infection: the CC allele does not correlate with the phase of the infection nor with HBsAg clearance in IFN treated patients".

, 2012
IL28B polymorphism (IL28Bp) is associated with spontaneous and treatment induced HCV clearance, whereas its role in HBV infection is still debated. We analysed the correlation between IL28Bp and phase and outcome of HBV infection and HBsAg clearance in ...

Influence of IL-10RA and IL-22 polymorphisms on outcome of hepatitis C virus infection.

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Two receptor chains, IL-10RA and IL-10RB, are known to mediate the functions of interleukin-10 (IL-10), which has been shown to be involved in the progression of persistent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Little information is available on

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Polymorphisms in interferon-induced genes and the outcome of hepatitis C virus infection: roles of MxA, OAS-1 and PKR.

, 2003
Interferon stimulates the expression of a number of genes encoding enzymes with antiviral activities, including myxovirus resistance-1 (MxA), 2-5-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS-1) and double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR).

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

Stimulation requirement and pathogenetic significance of T cells during chronic viral hepatitis.

, 2007
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are important causes of liver inflammation and fibrosis. More than 500 million people are persistently infected worldwide and consequently are at increased risk of developing chronic liver disease ...
