Innate Immune Sensing of Viruses and Its Consequences for the Central Nervous System
Viral infections remain a global public health concern and cause a severe societal and economic burden. At the organismal level, the innate immune system is essential for the detection of viruses and constitutes the first line of defense.

Analysis of Hepatitis C Viral Dynamics Using Latin Hypercube Sampling [PDF]
We consider a mathematical model comprising of four coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for studying the hepatitis C (HCV) viral dynamics. The model embodies the efficacies of a combination therapy of interferon and ribavirin. A condition for the stability of the uninfected and the infected steady states is presented.

Poly I:C Pre-Treatment Induced the Anti-Viral Interferon Response in Airway Epithelial Cells
Type I and III interferons are among the most important antiviral mediators. Increased susceptibility to infections has been described as being associated with impaired interferon response in asthmatic patients. In this work, we focused on the modulation

GIFT: Guided and Interpretable Factorization for Tensors - An Application to Large-Scale Multi-platform Cancer Analysis [PDF]
Given multi-platform genome data with prior knowledge of functional gene sets, how can we extract interpretable latent relationships between patients and genes? More specifically, how can we devise a tensor factorization method which produces an interpretable gene factor matrix based on gene set information while maintaining the decomposition quality ...

Interferons—Implications in the Immune Response to Respiratory Viruses
Interferons (IFN) are an assemblage of signaling proteins made and released by various host cells in response to stimuli, including viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza virus, and SARS-CoV-2 are major causes of respiratory disease that ...

Interferons in the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms
Interferons are cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and disease-modifying effects that have been used to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) for more than 35 years.

Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) Triggers Adipocyte Autophagy
Innate immune signaling in adipocytes affects systemic metabolism. Cytosolic nucleic acid sensing has been recently shown to stimulate thermogenic adipocyte differentiation and protect from obesity; however, DNA efflux from adipocyte mitochondria is a ...
