Monoubiquitination of syntaxin 3 leads to retrieval from the basolateral plasma membrane and facilitates cargo recruitment to exosomes [PDF]
Syntaxin 3 (Stx3), a SNARE protein located and functioning at the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells, is required for epithelial polarity.

The Bioengineering of Microspheric Skin Organoids and Their Application in Drug Screening
A novel method for the preparation of uniform microspheric skin organoids via spinning bioreactors is developed. The organoid consists of a core‐shell structure to mimic the bilayered skin structure with the epidermis on the surface. For efficient drug screening, the organoid is equipped with a luciferase reporter to detect canonical Wnt signaling, and

Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) profoundly affects cellular metabolism. Like in tumor cells, HCMV infection increases glycolysis, and glucose carbon is shifted from the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle to the biosynthesis of fatty acids.

Memory NK cell features exploitable in anticancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Besides their innate ability to rapidly produce effector cytokines and kill virus-infected or transformed cells, natural killer (NK) cells display a strong capability to adapt to environmental modifications and to differentiate into long-lived ...

Kinome Profiling Identifies Druggable Targets for Novel Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) Antivirals*
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a significant cause of disease in immune-compromised adults and immune naïve newborns. No vaccine exists to prevent HCMV infection, and current antiviral therapies have toxic side effects that limit the duration and ...

The Complex Role of CD8+ T Cells in Placental HIV Infection
CD8+ T cells exhibit dual roles at the maternal‐fetal interface supporting tolerance via IL‐10 and TGF‐β and aiding implantation and vascular remodeling through TNF‐α and IFN‐γ. In HIV infection, CD8+ T cells expand, driving inflammation, PD‐L1 upregulation on trophoblasts, and cytotoxic dysfunction via reduced Granzyme B and Perforin, compromising ...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common virus to affect the recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). HCMV reactivation increases the risk of secondary fungal and bacterial infections, as well as that of non ...

The Story of Human Cytomegalovirus and Cancer: Increasing Evidence and Open Questions
Although human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is generally not regarded to be an oncogenic virus, HCMV infection has been implicated in malignant diseases from different cancer entities.

A long and complex enhancer activates transcription of the gene coding for the highly abundant immediate early mRNA in murine cytomegalovirus [PDF]
Using the simian virus 40 "enhancer trap" approach, we have identified a transcription enhancer located just upstream of the major immediate early gene of murine cytomegalovirus. This enhancer has several striking properties.
