The aging process is driven by multiple mechanisms that lead to changes in energy
production, oxidative stress, homeostatic dysregulation and eventually to loss of functionality …

Introduction: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute lower
respiratory tract infections in infancy. While many infants are infected with RSV, the nature …

Importance Severe respiratory disease declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, partially
due to decreased circulation of respiratory pathogens. However, the outcomes of children …

Despite the pivotal role of IFN‐λs in the innate immune response, the data on its genetic
polymorphism in relation to COVID‐19 severity are scarce and contradictory. In the present …

Human IFN-λ4 is expressed by only a subset of individuals who possess the ΔG variant
allele at the dinucleotide polymorphism rs368234815. Recent genetic studies have shown …

Abstract Background Type III interferons (IFN), also called as lambda IFNs (IFN‐λs), are
antiviral and immunomodulatory cytokines that are evolutionarily important in humans …

Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections are the leading cause of
hospitalization in young children. We assessed the epidemiology, severity, clinical …

Influenza affects approximately 10% of the world's population annually. It is associated with
high morbidity and mortality rates due to its propensity to progress to severe acute …

Background Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, multisystemic, inflammatory disease
characterized by relapsing episodes of a wide spectrum of clinical findings. The role and …
