Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Clinical features and mutational analysis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia patients in Malaysia
BackgroundBruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic protein involved in the B cell development. X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutation in the BTK gene, which results in very low or absent B cells.

Primary immunodeficiency for the primary care provider [PDF]
Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of heterogeneous disorders resulting from defects affecting the function of ≥1 parts of the immune system. Current estimates of the prevalence of primary immunodeficiency disease are one in 1200 patients. In Ontario, where the average general practitioner follows 1300 to 2000 patients, an estimated two patients ...

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Diminished toll-like receptor response in febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES)
Background: Defective human TLR3 signaling causes recurrent and refractory herpes simplex encephalitis/encephalopathy. Children with febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome with refractory seizures may have defective TLR responses.

Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) molecular epidemiology in non-human primates from West Africa [PDF]
It is now scientifically proved that the human immunodeficiency viruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2, are the results of cross-species transmissions of the simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV) that naturally infect non-human primates in sub- Saharan Africa ...

IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

Other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes
Five broad and major groups of PID classification have been known as CID, PAD, phagocyte disorders, complement deficiencies, as well as other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes. The former includes Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), which presents as a
