Manganese mediates antiviral effects by driving an ATM -TBK1 phosphorylation signaling pathway

Frontiers in Immunology
Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is traditionally recognized as a nuclear kinase involved in DNA damage repair. We were the first to report that ATM also participates in a manganese (Mn)-dependent TBK1 phosphorylation pathway.

Interleukin-27-polarized HIV-resistant M2 macrophages are a novel subtype of macrophages that express distinct antiviral gene profiles in individual cells: implication for the antiviral effect via different mechanisms in the individual cell-dependent manner

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionInterleukin (IL)-27 is an anti-viral cytokine. IL-27-treated monocyte-derived macrophages (27-Mac) suppressed HIV replication. Macrophages are generally divided into two subtypes, M1 and M2 macrophages.

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Decoding Aquaculture's Future: A Review of Molecular Docking and Simulation in Enhancing Growth and Disease Resistance

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has overtaken capture fisheries as the main source of aquatic animal protein, marking a critical step in global food security. Yet, rapid intensification faces major challenges, including disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, and dependence on wild‐caught fish for feed.

Integrated Functional and scRNA-Seq Analyses Reveal Convergence of M-CSF– and GM-CSF–Derived Macrophages Following IL-27 Polarization

Cells
Macrophages differentiated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (M-Mac) are widely used as an experimental model. Interleukin 27 (IL-27)-polarized M-Mac (27M-Mac) suppresses HIV replication; however, the effects of IL-27 polarization on ...

The Steroidal Profile Modulates Adaptive Immune Response and Prognosis in Adrenocortical Carcinoma: Analysis of TCR and BCR Repertoires

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm with limited therapeutic options and an often poor prognosis. A deeper understanding of its interaction with the immune system is essential for the advancement of personalized treatment strategies, particularly in light of the tumor heterogeneity of hormone production ...

Computational Design of an mRNA Vaccine Targeting LRP6 for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents a poorer prognosis than other breast cancer subtypes, attributed to its aggressive nature and the lack of specific therapeutic interventions. TNBC has high recurrence rates and limited survival despite current therapies, emphasizing the critical need for improved treatment options.

CelltrackR: An R package for fast and flexible analysis of immune cell migration data

ImmunoInformatics, 2021
Visualization of cell migration via time-lapse microscopy has greatly advanced our understanding of the immune system. However, subtle differences in migration dynamics are easily obscured by biases and imaging artifacts.
