Emerging insights into CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dual roles of CC and CXC chemokines in distinguishing active, latent, and subclinical tuberculosis were reviewed, along with an evaluation of their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets to advance precision medicine in tuberculosis management. The graphical abstract was generated with AI assistance (Gemini 3.0).

A virus-like particle assembly system for probing the HIV-1 Gag–Pol dimerization domain: supporting evidence for reverse transcriptase involvement in protease activation by influencing Gag–Pol/Gag–Pol interaction

open access: yesJournal of Virology
HIV-1 protease (PR) activation is triggered by Gag–Pol dimerization. We previously reported that reverse transcriptase (RT) amino acid substitution mutations resulted in p66/51RT heterodimer instability associated with impaired PR activation, and that ...

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Requirement of Activation for Hepatitis B Virus Infection

open access: yes, 2007
Although _in vitro_ models of human hepatitis B virus replication are established, so far none could approximate infection efficiency as expected from _in vivo_ observations.

Viral antigen mediated NKp46 activation of NK cells results in tumor rejection via NK-DC crosstalk

open access: yes, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in antitumor immunity, their activation being regulated through NK cell receptors. Although the endogenous ligands for these receptors are largely unknown, viral ligands have been identified. We investigated

Loss of AMBRA1 activates MAPK and angiogenesis signaling pathways in melanoma cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Loss of AMBRA1 in melanoma cells activates multiple oncogenic pathways associated with tumor progression. Transcriptomic and protein network analyses revealed that AMBRA1 depletion enhances MAPK/ERK signaling, angiogenesis, TGF‐β/EMT signaling, and Wnt/axon guidance pathways.

Inhibitors of the interferon response enhance virus replication in vitro.

open access: yes, 2014
This work was supported by the University of St Andrews (CSA, CES) and the Wellcome Trust (grant 087751/A/08/Z) (RER).Virus replication efficiency is influenced by two conflicting factors, kinetics of the cellular interferon (IFN) response and induction ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Defective interfering particles of parainfluenza virus subtype 5 and interferon induction

open access: yes, 2015
The innate immune response is the first line of defence against virus infection. Cells contain a diverse array of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) that are able to recognise multiple pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) that present ...
