This study reveals that ADAR1, an RNA‐editing enzyme, fine‐tunes immune responses in the placenta by preventing the accumulation of immunogenic double‐stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) from interferon‐stimulated genes. The loss of ADAR1 in the placenta leads to excessive interferon signaling restricted to the junctional zone, disrupting placental development and ...

Current progress in the development of therapeutic vaccines for chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis B is still a major public health issue despite the successful prophylactic vaccination attempts. Chronicity of hepatitis B virus(HBV) is mainly due to its ability to debilitate host's immune system.

Investigation into the Pancreatic Pathogenesis of SFTSV across Multiple Levels
A retrospective analysis revealed that 17.6% of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients met the diagnostic criteria for clinically confirmed pancreatitis. Using human pancreatic organoids and murine models demonstrated that SFTSV exhibits a specific pancreatic tropism, leading to cell death and initiating a strong inflammatory ...
