Evolution of enhanced innate immune evasion by SARS-CoV-2
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern suggests viral adaptation to enhance human-to-human transmission1,2. Although much effort has focused on the characterization of changes in the spike protein in variants of concern, mutations outside of ...

Immune evasion of the CD1d/NKT cell axis [PDF]
Many reviews on the CD1d/NKT cell axis focus on the ability of CD1d-restricted NKT cells to serve as effector cells in a variety of disorders, be they infectious diseases, cancer or autoimmunity.

Filoviral Immune Evasion Mechanisms
The Filoviridae family of viruses, which includes the genera Ebolavirus (EBOV) and Marburgvirus (MARV), causes severe and often times lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans. Filoviral infections are associated with ineffective innate antiviral responses as a

Immune evasion in cancer: mechanistic basis and therapeutic strategies [PDF]
Cancer immune evasion is a major stumbling block in designing effective anticancer therapeutic strategies. Although considerable progress has been made in understanding how cancers evade destructive immunity, measures to counteract tumor escape have not ...

Ovarian cancer mutational processes drive site-specific immune evasion
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an archetypal cancer of genomic instability 1 – 4 patterned by distinct mutational processes 5 , 6 , tumour heterogeneity 7 – 9 and intraperitoneal spread 7 , 8 , 10 .

Extracellular vesicles in ovarian cancer chemoresistance, metastasis, and immune evasion
Chemoresistance and metastasis are the major challenges for the current ovarian cancer treatment. Understanding the mechanisms of ovarian cancer progression and metastasis is critically important for developing novel therapies.

Physical Model of the Immune Response of Bacteria Against Bacteriophage Through the Adaptive CRISPR-Cas Immune System [PDF]
Bacteria and archaea have evolved an adaptive, heritable immune system that recognizes and protects against viruses or plasmids. This system, known as the CRISPR-Cas system, allows the host to recognize and incorporate short foreign DNA or RNA sequences, called `spacers' into its CRISPR system.

Neuroimmune Evasion of Zika Virus to Facilitate Viral Pathogenesis
Zika virus (ZIKV), which preferentially targets neural stem and progenitor cells (NSCs) especially in developing brain, is causally associated with fetal microcephaly, intrauterine retardation, and other congenital malformations in humans. However, there
