EGR Proteins Mediate Interferon‐Independent Anti‐HSV‐1 Responses Through Viral and Host Targets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Early antiviral responses are typically mediated by interferons. However, during HSV‐1 infection, host early growth response (Egr) genes, which are not interferon‐stimulated genes, are quickly induced by viral protein ICP0. EGR proteins, in turn, suppress viral lytic infection by activating viral latency‐associated (LAT) and host immune regulatory ...

Layers of immunity: Deconstructing the Drosophila effector response

eLife
The host innate immune response relies on the cooperation of multiple defense modules. In insects and other arthropods, which have only innate immune mechanisms, four main immune-specific modules have been described in the defense against microbial ...

Halorotetin B, A Novel Terpenoid Compound Derived from Marine Ascidian, Suppresses Tumor Growth by Targeting the Cell Cycle Regulator UBE2C

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Halorotetin B, a novel small‐molecule terpenoid identified from an edible marine ascidian, exhibits strong anti‐tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo through direct targeting UBE2C to induce tumor cell cycle arrest and then lead tumor cell senescence. As a newly discovered UBE2C inhibitor, Halorotetin B can serve as a novel potential cell senescence

GbWAKL20 Phosphorylates GbNFYB8 to Modulate Verticillium Wilt Resistance in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wall‐associated receptor‐like kinases (WAKLs) play pivotal roles in extracellular–intracellular signal transduction. Upon sensing Verticillium dahliae infestation at the plasma membrane, GbWAKL20 accumulates and transmits signals to the nucleus via endoplasmic reticulum‐mediated Golgi vesicle transport.

Prognostic significance of tumor microenvironment assessed by machine learning algorithm in surgically resected non‐small cell lung cancer

Cancer Reports, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background A methodology to assess the immune microenvironment (IME) of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been established, and the prognostic impact of IME factors is not yet clear. Aims This study aimed to assess the IME factors and evaluate their prognostic values. Methods and Results We assessed CD8+ tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (

Evaluating Host Defense Peptides

The global antibiotic resistance crisis raises concerns about antibiotic use, and alternative strategies are urgently needed. In this context, host defense peptides (HDPs) have rapidly gained interest. However, one of the main obstacles is their production strategy.
