Efficacy and Safety of Messenger RNA Vaccines

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The rapid development of mRNA vaccines has revolutionized infectious disease prevention and cancer immunotherapy. While their efficacy is well established, concerns about safety and immunopathological risks persist. This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety profiles, and design considerations of mRNA vaccines ...

POXVIRUS DISEASE OF SQUIRRELS (POXVIRIDAE, CHORDOPOXVIRINAE, SQPV - SQUIRREL POXVIRUS)

Problems of Virology, 2018
A new taxon of the subfamily Chordopoxvirinae that may represent a new genus of smallpox viruses is considered in this review. The distribution of gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) throughout the UK during the 20th century and the decrease in the population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) is one of the most well-documented cases of ecological ...

Genome of Alaskapox Virus, a Novel Orthopoxvirus Isolated from Alaska

Viruses, 2019
Since the eradication of smallpox, there have been increases in poxvirus infections and the emergence of several novel poxviruses that can infect humans and domestic animals. In 2015, a novel poxvirus was isolated from a resident of Alaska.

Bisbenzimide compounds inhibit the replication of prototype and pandemic potential poxviruses

Microbiology Spectrum
We previously identified the bisbenzimide Hoechst 33342 (H42) as a potent multi-stage inhibitor of the prototypic poxvirus, the vaccinia virus (VACV), and several parapoxviruses.

Repurposed Medicines for Viruses With Epidemic or Pandemic Potential: A Horizon Scan

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Viruses such as Ebola, Marburg, influenza, mpox, MERS‐CoV, SARS‐CoV, and SARS‐CoV‐2 may be considered pathogens of epidemic or pandemic concern. Developing novel antiviral medicines can be time‐consuming and resource intensive. Repurposing existing medicines with known or potential antiviral activity offers a faster, cost‐effective strategy to

Identification of genetically predicted protein biomarkers and drug targets for prostate cancer via Mendelian randomization

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer in men globally, urgently requires improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. This study analyzed large genetic datasets and identified five key proteins (THBD, DST, IFI27L2, OSBPL10, PPP1R14A) that either increase or decrease cancer risk, while also exploring their roles in immune response and potential ...

NK cells and poxvirus infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
In recent years, our understanding of the role of natural killer (NK) cells in the response to viral infection has grown rapidly. Not only do we realize viruses have many immune-evasion strategies to escape NK cell responses, but that stimulation of NK cell subsets during an antiviral response occurs through receptors seemingly geared directly at viral

Septins in the Middle—Makers and Breakers of Membrane Contact Sites

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Septins are a family of GTP‐binding proteins that assemble into heteromeric oligomers and polymers, associating with specific membrane domains and organelles according to their subunit composition. Growing evidence places septins at membrane contact sites (MCS) — key hubs for intracellular communication that mediate exchange of ions, lipids, and ...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 672-712, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.
