During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the media focus has been on adaptive immunity,
particularly antibody levels and memory T cells. However, immunologists have been striving …

Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) enters its host cell through a surface spike protein. The
viral spike protein has undergone several modifications/mutations at the genomic level …

In this work, we develop mathematical models of the immune response to respiratory viral
infection, taking into account some particular properties of the SARS-CoV infections …

RIG-I recognizes viral dsRNA and activates a cell-autonomous antiviral response. Upon
stimulation, it triggers a signaling cascade leading to the production of type I and III IFNs …

Once challenged by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the human host immune system triggers a
dynamic process against infection. We constructed a mathematical model to describe host …

Patients with COVID-19 can develop pneumonia, severe symptoms of acute respiratory
distress syndrome, and multiple organ failure. Nevertheless, the variety of forms of this …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem and there are $257$
million people living with chronic HBV infection throughout the world. In this paper, we …

Type I interferons (IFN) are the first line of immune response against infection. In this study,
we explore the interaction between Type I IFN and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) …

The pattern recognition receptor RIG-I is essential for the recognition of viral dsRNA and the
activation of a cell-autonomous antiviral response. Upon stimulation, RIG-I triggers a …

The post-pandemic period of the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has lasted longer than expected …
