Emerging Challenges in Diagnosis and Treatment of Invasive Fungal Infections: Addressing the Impact of COVID-19 and New Pathogens
The objective of this study involved conducting a comprehensive literature search, followed by a rigorous selection process to identify relevant studies. Subsequently, a critical analysis of the literature was undertaken, and the obtained information was carefully synthesized to achieve the research aim.Recent FindingsRecent advances in diagnosis and treatment have greatly improved our ability to detect and manage of IFIs. The non-culture-based techniques have increased the accuracy and speed of fungal detection, while new antifungal drugs and immunotherapies have shown promising results in the treatment of IFIs. The princ...

How does the Immunological System Change during the SARS-COV-2 Attack? A Clue for the New Immunotherapy Discovery
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.2174/0929867331666230918092749. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) is one of the biggest unsolved global problems of the 21st century for which there has been no definitive cure yet. Like other respiratory viruses, SARS-COV-2 triggers the host immunity dramatically, causing dysfunction in the immune system, both innate and adaptive, which is a common feature of COVID-19 patients. Evidence shows that in the early stages of COVID-19, the immune system is suppressed while it is overactive in severe p...

Biomarkers to guide immunomodulatory treatment: where do we stand?
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2023 Sep 10. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2023.2258063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: This review summarizes current progress in the development of biomarkers to guide immunotherapy in oncology, rheumatology and critical illness.AREAS COVERED: An extensive literature search was performed about biomarkers classifying patients' immune responses to guide immunotherapy in oncology, rheumatology and critical illness. Surface markers, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), genetic biomarkers, such as tumor mutation load, and circulating tumor DNA are biomarkers associated with the effectiveness o...

Unlocking therapeutic potential: integration of drug repurposing and immunotherapy for various disease targeting
Am J Transl Res. 2023 Aug 15;15(8):4984-5006. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTDrug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning, entails the application of pre-approved or formerly assessed drugs having potentially functional therapeutic amalgams for curing various disorders or disease conditions distinctive from their original remedial indication. It has surfaced as a substitute for the development of drugs for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and various infectious diseases like Covid-19. Although the earlier lines of findings in this area were serendipitous, recent advancements are based ...

Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogel Microcapsules Harnessing the COVID-19 Immune Response for Cancer Therapeutics
We present the development of stimuli-responsive microcapsules, loaded with a viral immunogenetic agent, harnessing the immune response against the Coronavirus Disease 2019, COVID-19, to selectively attack liver cancer cells (hepatoma) or recognize breast cancer or hepatoma, by expression of green fluorescence protein, GFP. The pH-responsive microcapsules, modified with DNA-tetrahedra nanostructures, increased hepatoma permeation by 50%. Incorporation of a GFP-encoding lentivirus vector inside the tumor-targeting pH-stimulated miRNA-triggered and Alpha-fetoprotein-dictated microcapsules enables the demonstration of neoplas...

Bioinformatics analysis of carotid vulnerable plaques associated with the SARS-CoV-2 Pattern
Gene. 2023 Aug 31:147754. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147754. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe rupture of carotid artery vulnerable plaque plays a critical role in ischemic stroke, and the widely spread new coronavirus in recent years plays a certain role in the development of human carotid artery vulnerable plaque, we screened out 27 differential expression genes (DEGs) of stable plaque and vulnerable plaque associated with the new coronavirus. Through the construction of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, the Cathepsin B (CTSB) and Niemann-Pick Disease Type 2 (NPC2) were identified as crucial expression genes, ...

The Important Role of Interleukin-2 in COVID-19
J Immunol Res. 2023 Aug 22;2023:7097329. doi: 10.1155/2023/7097329. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThere is controversial literature about the effects of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine family in COVID-19 pathogenesis and immunity. So we aimed to identify the potential in the role of the IL-2 family in COVID-19. A narrative review search was done through online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search deadline was up to December 2022. We applied no time limits for the searching strategy. After retrieving articles from the databases, the authors summarized the data into two data extraction tables. The...
