African Swine Fever Virus Infection and Cytokine Response In Vivo: An Update
Viruses, 2023 African swine fever (ASF) is a hemorrhagic viral disease of domestic pigs and wild suids (all Sus scrofa) caused by the ASF virus (ASFV). The disease is spreading worldwide without control, threatening pig production due to the absence of licensed ...

Evolution of Interferons and Interferon Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 The earliest jawed vertebrates (Gnathostomes) would likely have had interferon (IFN) genes, since they are present in extant cartilaginous fish (sharks and rays) and bony fish (lobe-finned and ray-finned fish, the latter consisting of the chondrostei, holostei, and teleostei), as well as in tetrapods.

Crystal structure of human IPS-1/MAVS/VISA/Cardif caspase activation recruitment domain [PDF]
, 2010 Background: IPS-1/MAVS/VISA/Cardif is an adaptor protein that plays a crucial role in the induction of interferons in response to viral infection. In the initial stage of the intracellular antiviral response two RNA helicases, retinoic acid inducible ...

Efficacy of oseltamivir treatment in influenza virus-infected obese mice
mBio, 2023 Obesity has been epidemiologically and empirically linked with more severe diseases upon influenza infection. To ameliorate severe disease, treatment with antivirals, such as the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir, is suggested to begin within days of ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Signal Transduction by Type I Interferons
, 2002 The two classes of interferons, type I (IFNα, IFNβ, IFNω, and IFNτ) and type II (IFNλ) are pleiotropic cytokines that exhibit antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory effects on their target cells.
