Responses to Cytokines and Interferons that Depend upon JAKs and STATs.
Many cytokines and all interferons activate members of a small family of kinases (the Janus kinases [JAKs]) and a slightly larger family of transcription factors (the signal transducers and activators of transcription [STATs]), which are essential ...

Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Summary The pre-treatment of mouse L cells with interferon or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid potentiated the interferon response of these cells to subsequent stimulation with suboptimal doses of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid. This potentiation was manifested as an earlier production of interferon, a faster attainment of maximum interferon production,

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma
This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Multiple Sclerosis Disability: A Prospective Study
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating central nervous system disease that leads to neurological disability. Brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNFs) are neurotrophins involved in neurodegenerative disorders.

Stochastic model of virus and defective interfering particle spread across mammalian cells with immune response [PDF]
Much of the work on modeling the spread of viral infections utilized partial differential equa- tions. Traveling-wave solutions to these PDEs are typically concentrated on velocities and their dependence on the various parameters. Most of the investigations into the dynamical interaction of virus and defective interfering particles (DIP), which are ...

Dynamic change of gene-to-gene regulatory networks in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection [PDF]
The current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has caused extensive damage to society. The characterization of SARS-CoV-2 profiles has been addressed by researchers globally with the aim of resolving this disruptive crisis. This investigation process is indispensable for an understanding of how SARS-CoV-2 behaves in human host cells. However, little is known about
