Macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) and MIP-1β are highly related members of
the CC chemokine subfamily. Despite their structural similarities, MIP-1α and MIP-1β show …

Type I interferons (IFNs) are important for host defense from viral infections, acting to restrict
viral production in infected cells and to promote antiviral immune responses. However, the …

Chemokines constitute a group of small, secreted proteins that regulate leukocyte migration
and contribute to their activation. Chemokines are crucial inflammatory mediators that play a …

The discovery of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) with regulatory functions is a recent
breakthrough in biology. Among sncRNAs, microRNA (miRNA), derived from host or virus …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza virus (PIV) are two respiratory
pathogens of paramount medical significance that exert high mortality. At present, there is no …
