Short-term effects of Poly(I:C) on gut permeability

Pharmacological Research, 2015
The intestinal barrier function depends on an adequate response to pathogens by the epithelium. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) recognizes double-stranded RNA, a virus-associated molecular pattern. Activation of TLR-3 with Poly(I:C), a synthetic agonist, modulates tissue repair and permeability in other epithelia; however, the effects of local luminal TLR-

dsRADAR: Imaging and Detecting Cellular dsRNA by Repurposing RNA‐Binding Proteins

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) plays an important role in the innate immune system, but can be misregulated in disease, leading to inflammation. Despite the importance of this motif, methods for detecting dsRNA remain limited. This work shows that ADAR3 can be repurposed to provide improved detection of dsRNA, which is demonstrated in the context of viral

Interaction of Selected Anthracycline and Tetracycline Chemotherapeutics with Poly(I:C) Molecules. [PDF]

ACS Omega
Despite the natural ability of the immune system to recognize cancer and, in some patients, even to eliminate it, cancer cells have acquired numerous evading mechanisms. With the increasing knowledge and focus shifting from targeting rapidly proliferating cells with chemotherapy to modulating the immune system, there have been recent efforts to ...

Intrasplenic Thymus Organogenesis from Injectable Tissue Fragments Restores Functional T‐Cell Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Clinical intramuscular thymus transplantation yields only short‐lived efficacy and marginal therapeutic benefits. Benefiting from the spleen's intrinsic strengths—rapid vascular perfusion, abundant developmental factors, and resident progenitors—the intrasplenic thymic grafts achieve robust thymic regeneration and substantial T‐cell reconstitution ...

Self‐Assembling Peptide‐Adjuvant Conjugate (SaPAC) Platform for Precision Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐assembling peptide–adjuvant conjugate links neoantigens to TLR7 agonism, forming cationic nanoparticles that enhance lymph‐node retention, dendritic‐cell activation, and antitumor T‐cell immunity. This chemically defined platform shows how synchronized antigen and innate stimulation can be adapted across melanoma, bladder cancer, and triple ...

Sarbecoviruses Suppress Innate Immunity by Recruiting PPM1A to Modulate STAT2 and ORF9b Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarbecovirus ORF9b recruits host phosphatase PPM1A to suppress innate immunity through dual mechanisms. PPM1A directly dephosphorylates ORF9b to sustain its activity and indirectly downregulates STAT2 phosphorylation to impair interferon signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of PPM1A restores antiviral responses and limits sarbecovirus replication ...

Decoding Biomolecular Phase Separation: From Physiological Roles to Pathological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Biomaterials Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically elaborates on the mechanisms underlying physiological regulation and pathological dysregulation of biomolecular phase separation. It also summarizes advances in phase‑separation‑targeted therapeutic strategies and the design of functional biomaterials inspired by this process.

A Fish MDA5 Integrates Canonical RIG‐I and MDA5 Ligand Recognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
These results show that the large yellow croaker lacks RIG‐I, yet its MDA5 senses both 5′ppp‐dsRNA and long dsRNA. A flexible RNA‐capping loop in the MDA5 C‐terminal domain enables two ligand‐binding modes. This dual recognition signals through MAVS–STING–TBK1/IRF3 and induces type I interferons, revealing unexpected plasticity in vertebrate antiviral ...

Large Oncosomes Induce Pro‐Metastatic Stromal‐Myeloid Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large oncosomes systemically reprogram bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through innate nucleic acid sensing, driving inflammatory and immunosuppressive remodeling that supports a metastasis‐permissive bone marrow environment, revealing a novel tumor‐host communication axis in cancer. ABSTRACT Bone metastasis can be facilitated by systemic remodeling,

Gapless Complete Genome and Multi‐Omics Illuminate Immune Adaptation and Host‐Virus Interactions in a Coronavirus Reservoir

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a complete T2T genome assembly for a key bat reservoir. Integrating population genomics, comparative genomics, transcriptomics, single‐cell omics, and functional assays, we resolve previously inaccessible genomic regions and identify evolutionary signatures associated with immune adaptation.
