Study reveals how IL-26 reprogrammes colorectal cancer cells

Researchers have identified inflammatory cytokine interleukin-26 (IL-26) as a factor that acts on cancer cells and induces epigenetic reprogramming, promoting immune evasion.  While cancer cells acquire malignant traits through epigenetic remodelling, it remains unclear how immune-derived inflammatory factors regulate the epigenetics of colorectal cancer cells.  … Read More

New understanding of Flaviviruses suggests novel treatment strategies

Researchers have uncovered how Flaviviruses like Dengue and Zika propagate, suggesting the possibility of new treatment strategies. They have identified a transporter protein, called importin-7 (IPO7), as crucial for the nuclear transport of Flaviviridae core proteins. Viruses of the family Flaviviridae, including Japanese encephalitis… Read More
