This study investigates the role of MyD88 in dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We found that MyD88 is highly expressed in DCs and CD4+ T cells in people with multiple sclerosis, and its deficiency impairs DC maturation, reduces pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, weakens DC–T cell interactions ...

DNA Virus Detection in Olfactory Neuroblastomas Using Targeted Enrichment NGS
ABSTRACT A variety of malignancies can be found in the sinonasal tract including the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and skull base. Many of these are attributed to viruses, for example, carcinomas with the presence of transcriptionally active high‐risk human papillomavirus, as well as Epstein–Barr virus associated malignant lymphoepithelial carcinoma
