DExH/D-box helicases are essential nucleic acid and ribonucleoprotein remodelers
involved in all aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including replication, gene expression …

Zoonotic infections with influenza A viruses (IAVs) of avian origin can cause severe disease
with high fatality in humans, as in the case of the avian IAV subtypes H5N1 and H7N9 …

Myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MX1) and MX2 are homologous, dynamin-like large
GTPases, induced upon interferon exposure. Human MX1 (HsMX1) is known to inhibit many …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as RNA molecules longer than 200
nucleotides that can regulate gene expression at the transcriptional or post‐transcriptional …

Recent findings in permanent cell lines suggested that SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron BA. 1 induces
a stronger interferon response than Delta. Here, we show that BA. 1 and BA. 5 but not Delta …

2014 marked the first emergence of avian influenza A (H5N8) in Jeonbuk Province, South
Korea, which then quickly spread worldwide. In the midst of the 2020–2021 H5N8 outbreak …

The interferon-induced myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) is a potent restriction factor that
prevents zoonotic infection from influenza A virus (IAV) subtype H7N9. Individuals …

Interferons were the original prototype cytokine system discovered during research of the 20
th century. As the name suggests these were originally considered to be synthesised and …

Influenza pandemic with H1N1 (H1N1pdms) causes severe lung damage and “cytokine
storm,” leading to higher mortality and global health emergencies in humans and animals …

The severe acquired respiratory coronavirus–2 (SARS–CoV-2) infection has initiated both
acute and chronic COVID–19 disease between 2020 and 2023, currently evolving with other …
