Mevalonate biosynthesis pathway regulates the development and survival of brown adipocytes
Summary: The high thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has received considerable attention. Here, we demonstrated the role of the mevalonate (MVA) biosynthesis pathway in the regulation of brown adipocyte development and survival.

696 Single-cell RNA-seq reveals the critical roles of the STING- and MDA5-mediated cytosolic nucleic acid-sensing pathways as well as IFNAR/STAT2 signaling in recombinant MVA-induced antitumor immunity [PDF]
Background Oncolytic viruses are promising therapeutic agents for advanced cancers because of their ability to induce antitumor innate and adaptive immunity. Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) is an attenuated, replication-deficient poxvirus safe for human use, making it a favorable platform for cancer immunotherapy. Previously we discovered the E5R
