Natural Killer Cell‐Mediated Antitumor Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Applications

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
NK cells eliminate tumors via cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. Tumor microenvironment‐driven immunosuppression and metabolic reprogramming subvert NK cells’ cytotoxicity. The current clinical strategies to restore NK activity include ex vivo expansion for adoptive transfer, CAR‐NK engineering, TME‐remodeling agents, immune checkpoint blockade ...

Circulating Vaccine‐Derived Poliovirus Type 2 (cVDPV2) Outbreak Response With Novel Oral Poliovirus Vaccine Type 2 (nOPV2), Sierra Leone's Experience

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background In March 2024, a circulating vaccine‐derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) was isolated in environmental samples (ESs) collected at the Mabella Sawmill Bridge environmental surveillance (ES) site. The Ministry of Health and its partners responded to the outbreak by conducting a novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) nationwide ...

Unleashing the Antiviral Potential of Stapled Peptides: A New Frontier in Combating Human Neurotropic Viral Infections

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2025.
Human neurotropic viruses like SARS‐CoV‐2, HSV, HOPV and RSV pose significant risks due to their ability to invade and persist in the nervous system. Stapled peptides represent a promising therapeutic approach with enhanced stability, target affinity and bioavailability, emerging as an effective strategy for neutralising human neurotropic viruses ...

OPV strains circulation in HIV infected infants after National Immunisation Days in Bangui, Central African Republic [PDF]

, 2010
Background Humans are the only host of polioviruses, thus the prospects of global polio eradication look reasonable. However, individuals with immunodeficiencies were shown to excrete vaccine derived poliovirus for long periods of time which led to ...
