and the suppressive role of SMYD3 in antiviral innate immunity depended on its enzymatic activity. The knockout of SMYD3 or the inhibition of its enzymatic activity enhanced antiviral gene ...

Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead ...

Three undergraduates working under the guidance of virologist Luwen Zhang co-authored a scientific research study tracing how ...

Our lab studies the innate immune system, the microbe-derived ligands important for immune activation ... These findings provide a highly tractable and rapid model system for studying the cGAS-STING ...

“Before we started this project . . . we knew our genomes were full of these elements and many of them are activated during normal development in cells,” said study coauthor Edward Chuong, a postdoc ...

As he read through the literature, he began to notice overlaps between Down syndrome and more severe genetic disorders that stem from over-producing interferons—molecules that open the innate immune ...

These therapies employ a different branch of the immune system called innate immunity that can help overcome cancer’s ability to evade immune recognition early in an immune response. By ...

Herpesvirus-encoded microRNAs (v-miRNAs) play a crucial role in modulating host cellular processes to promote viral persistence, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. These v-miRNAs function by targeting ...

An immune system defect makes affected individuals vulnerable to severe viral diseases such as influenza or COVID-19. It is caused by the body's own ...
