The Vaccinia virus (VACV) played a pivotal role in the discovery of the 5' mRNA. Over the past decades, VACV investigation has contributed extensively to understanding the mechanism behind 5' mRNA cap synthesis. ...
Interferon alfa (IFNα) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with antiviral properties. Our project focuses on Toll-like receptors (TLR)7/9, which upon activation lead to a massive production of INFα.1Therefore, the process needs ...
Promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) play roles in various cellular functions and represent a key component of antiviral defense. In the case of hepatitis B virus (HBV), the antiviral ...
Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small non-enveloped viruses replicating in the host cell nucleus. Viral replication centers (VRCs) share features with cellular euchromatic or heterochromatic regions, depending on the stage of ...
A limited number of studies are devoted to regulating TRIP6 expression in cancer. Hence, we aimed to unveil the regulation of TRIP6 expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (with high TRIP6 expression) and taxane-resistant ...
This interdisciplinary study examines the cross-cultural differences between the perceived legitimacy of anti-pandemic measures during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis in three Central European countries and four independent ...
At present, the Polyomaviridae family contains 14 human polyomaviruses (PyVs), among the most important are Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), the etiological agent of 80% of Merkel cell carcinomas, JCPyV and BKPyV causing ...
3,5-Dinitrobenzylsulfanyl tetrazoles and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, previously identified as having high in vitro activities against both replicating and nonreplicating mycobacteria and favorable cytotoxicity and genotoxicity ...
Phlebovirus toscanaense (Toscana virus, TOSV) from the Phenuiviridae family is an emerging but still neglected human pathogen. Infections vary from non-symptomatic forms through febrile illness to CNS disease, rarely death. ...
Stimulation of the innate immune responses using agonist of pattern recognition receptors is one of the investigated therapeutic approaches for treatment of chronic diseases, such as cancer or chronic ...
