Ubiquitination dynamics in human tumour viruses: Viral infection, oncogenesis and antiviral therapy
The ubiquitin system is essential for cellular homeostasis and regulates many processes. Viruses, including oncogenic ones, exploit or evade this system to survive and replicate. This review explores how human tumour viruses manipulate the ubiquitination system to complete their life cycle, evade immunity and promote cancer.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that
