Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Human herpesvirus (HHV-) 6A and HHV-6B are two distinctβ-herpesviruses which have been associated with various neurological diseases, including encephalitis, meningitis, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. Although the reactivation of both viruses is recognized as the cause of some neurological complications in conditions of immunosuppression, their ...

T Cell Exhaustion in Cancer Immunotherapy: Heterogeneity, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities
T cell exhaustion limits immunotherapy efficacy. This article delineates its progression from stem‐like to terminally exhausted states, governed by persistent antigen, transcription factors, epigenetics, and metabolism. It maps the exhaustion landscape in the TME and proposes integrated reversal strategies, providing a translational roadmap to overcome

A systematic review of the impact of psychosocial factors on immunity: Implications for enhancing BCG response against tuberculosis. [PDF]
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an urgent global public health priority, causing 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2018. There is evidence that psychosocial factors modulate immune function; however, how this may influence TB risk or BCG vaccine ...

Abstract Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency. Patients with DOCK8 deficiency typically present at early age with allergic manifestations, cutaneous and respiratory infections, raised immunoglobulin E, and they have an increased risk of developing malignancies.

Abstract Childhood obesity is rising and leading to serious co‐morbidities, among which is metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) predisposing individuals to cirrhosis. We describe a young 11‐year‐old Hispanic male who presented with hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary to cirrhotic portal hypertension from metabolic dysfunction‐
