Effect of red maca (Lepidium meyenii) on INF-γ levels in ovariectomized rats
Objectives. Compare the effect of different doses of red maca on gamma interferon (IFN-γ) levels in ovariectomized rats (OVX). Materials and methods. Adult female rats were randomly divided into the following six groups: Group 1: pseudo-ovariectomized ...

Interferon Receptor Signaling Pathways Regulating PD-L1 and PD-L2 Expression
SUMMARY PD-L1 and PD-L2 are ligands for the PD-1 immune inhibiting checkpoint that can be induced in tumors by interferon exposure, leading to immune evasion. This process is important for immunotherapy based on PD-1 blockade.

Currently, interferon add-on therapy brings hope for clinical cure of chronic hepatitis B patients with low HBsAg. However, in clinical practice patients with poor responses to their first interferon therapy were often switched to nucleos(t)ide analog ...

Interferon-Stimulated Genes: What Do They All Do?
In the absence of an intact interferon (IFN) response, mammals may be susceptible to lethal viral infection. IFNs are secreted cytokines that activate a signal transduction cascade leading to the induction of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs)

The type I interferon response in COVID-19: implications for treatment
Despite early reports to the contrary, there is increasing evidence that patients with severe COVID-19 have a robust type I interferon response, which contrasts with the delayed, possibly suppressed, interferon response seen early in infection.

Association of autoimmune hepatitis and multiple sclerosis: a coincidence?
Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver inflammation resulting from deregulation of immune tolerance mechanisms. Multiple sclerosis is also an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged ...

Cloning of human Type I interferon cDNAs
In the late 1970s, crude interferon samples were found to exhibit anti-tumour activity. This discovery led to the interferon as a “magic drug” for cancer patients.

Interferon-α2b Treatment for COVID-19
The global pandemic of COVID-19 cases caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2 is ongoing, with no approved antiviral intervention. We describe here the effects of treatment with interferon (IFN)-α2b in a cohort of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Wuhan, China. In

Estudio de la coinfección por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) en la cohorte de pacientes infectados por VIH del Hospital Universitario de Basurto: Prevalencia de la coinfección, genotipado, grado de fibrosis y respuesta a los diferentes tratamientos. [PDF]
[ES] Este trabajo compara la eficacia de los tratamientos iniciales frente al VHC (interferón-pegilado y ribavirina) respecto a los más nuevos (AADs) en los pacientes coinfectados por VIH/VHC atendidos en nuestro Hospital desde inicios de los 90 hasta la

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
