Chronic viral infections like HIV, HBV, and HCV establish persistent interactions with the host immune system, resulting in evasion long-term dysfunction. These viruses use a range of strategies to limit defenses, such as downregulating MHC class I, disrupting interferon signaling, altering apoptosis pathways, suppressing cytotoxic T-cell activity. Key proteins, including HIV Nef, HBV X protein, NS5A, interfere antigen presentation JAK/STAT thereby reducing antiviral responses. induce exhaustion due exposure, which leads expression inhibitory receptors PD-1 CTLA-4 on T cells. Viral epigenetic changes, N6-methyladenosine modifications histone deacetylation, enhance by modulating gene infected Viruses further manipulate cytokine networks promoting an immunosuppressive environment through IL-10 TGF-β secretion, suppress inflammatory responses inhibit activation. This review examines molecular/cellular mechanisms that enable chronic escape immunity, focusing antigenic variation, disruption, control apoptotic pathways. It also addresses how genetic factors, HLA polymorphisms, influence disease progression. Lastly, we discuss host-targeted therapies, checkpoint inhibitors, treatments, CRISPR.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global mortality, driven by risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes. Recent research has highlighted the critical role inflammasomes, particularly NLRP3 inflammasome, in pathogenesis various CVDs, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction heart failure. Inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes that activate inflammatory responses through production pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β IL-18, contributing to endothelial dysfunction, plaque formation injury. This review provides comprehensive overview structure, activation mechanisms pathways with focus on their involvement cardiovascular pathology. Key include ion fluxes (K+ efflux Ca2+ signalling), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial dysfunction lysosomal destabilisation. The also explores therapeutic potential targeting inflammasomes mitigate inflammation improve outcomes CVDs. Emerging strategies small-molecule inhibitors, biologics RNA-based therapeutics, particular emphasis inhibition. Additionally, integration artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising avenues for identifying novel biomarkers, predicting disease developing personalised treatment strategies. Future directions should understanding interactions between other immune components, well genetic regulators, uncover new targets. By elucidating complex this underscores innovative therapies address inflammation-driven pathology, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

The p53 tumor suppressor gene, a master regulator of diverse cellular pathways, is frequently altered in various cancers. Loss function genes commonly associated with the onset/progression cancer and treatment resistance. Currently, approaches for restoration TP53 expression, including small molecules DNA therapies, have yielded progressive success, but each has formidable drawbacks. Here, we introduced an endogenous nanoplatform to effectively deliver protein. Briefly speaking, proteins were fused by Lamp2b loaded into extracellular vesicles-based nanoparticles, which could markedly restore expression natural TP53-deficient ovarian (OCs) subsequently inhibit cell proliferation as well induce apoptosis. Moreover, well-known biotin streptavidin binding strategy was used confer targeting ability. Since mesothelin (MSLN) expressed highly cancer, anti-MSLN engineered MSLN exert anti-tumor Our findings indicated that suppressors be promising nanotechnology potential treatment.

Abstract Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote the recruitment of eosinophils by secreting large amounts type cytokines (IL-5 and IL-13), thus triggering main feature asthma, pathological inflammation. Recent insights from mouse human studies indicated a potential relationship between ILC2s macrophages. However, mechanism which lung M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2 EVs) regulate remains unclear. Here, size, morphology, specific markers EVs were successfully characterized in lungs. Furthermore, we discovered that strongly promoted immunopathology induced papain. Mechanistically, internalized ILC2s, ILC2 activation inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-13) production. also indirectly enhanced function through macrophages CD4+ T cells. Using RNA sequencing, found long non-coding (lncRNA) 4930474H06Rik participated mediating these effects EVs. Inhibition altered intracellular metabolism activated NF-κB pathway signaling.
