IgGs are essential soluble components of the adaptive immune response that evolved to
protect the body from infection. Compared with other immunoglobulins, the role of IgGs is …

Flaviviruses consist of significant human pathogens responsible for hundreds of millions of
infections each year. Their antigenic relationships generate immune responses that are …

Mast cells (MCs) are central effector cells in allergic reactions that are often mediated by
immunoglobulin E (IgE). Allergies commonly start at an early age, and both MCs and IgE are …

Mito-SEPs are small open reading frame-encoded peptides that localize to the mitochondria
to regulate metabolism. Motivated by an intriguing negative association between mito-SEPs …

The Flavivirus genus is made up of viruses that are either mosquito-borne or tick-borne and
other viruses transmitted by unknown vectors. Flaviviruses present a significant threat to …

During pregnancy, the placenta forms the anatomical barrier between the mother and
developing fetus. Infectious agents can potentially breach the placental barrier resulting in …

Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are arthropod-borne pathogenic flaviviruses that
co-circulate in many countries. To understand some of the pressures that influence ZIKV …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can vertically transmit from mother to
fetus, potentially causing congenital defects, including microcephaly. It is not fully …

Increasing data on the infection indicate that maternal infections are severe. Under the
realms of vaccine development, virus‐like particles (VLP)/nanoparticles (NPs) hold the …

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy causes severe developmental defects in
newborns, termed congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Factors contributing to a surge in ZIKV …
