As has been pointed out before, the nt sequences and apparent higher-order structures of the four picornavirus IRES types vary widely. On the other hand, the overall function of IRES elements – internal initiation of translation – is the same, regardless of the underlying mechanism. Would an...
Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is an essential defense mechanism in airway epithelia for removing pathogens from the respiratory tract. Impaired ciliary functions and MCC have been demonstrated in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Lon
They can also act as reservoirs that control pre-loaded therapeutics release kinetics, providing anticancer molecules with steady and sustained levels throughout extended periods. In any case, by reducing concentration variations, these systems fuel tumor exposure to treatments and, naturally, improve ...
antibiotics target essential bacterial functions, including nucleicacidand protein synthesis, building of the cell membrane, and metabolic pathways. However, bacteria can acquire drug resistance by mutating the bacterial target the antibiotic is directed against, inactivating the drugs or pumping them out....
Thus, endosomal viral RNA sensors in HESN genital epithelia and CMCs responded strongly when alerted to defense against HIV-1, while other PRRs maintained low expression, restricting mucosal inflammation, resulting in immune quiescence with a potent anti-viral knock-out punch. It still remains to ...

Zinc has been tested for its ability to treat and prevent diarrheal diseases in many large field trials over a period of over 4 decades[1–3] and has generally been found effective. Nevertheless, the protective mechanism of zinc has remained elusive. For example, most of the articles on zinc...
