#SARSCoV2 suppresses #InnateImmunity via multiple proteins, but what are their relative roles during infection? This study of a panel of 12 viral proteins shows that they (and especially NSP1 & NSP15) act via distinct yet redundant mechanisms @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Rptk6r

New publication on the role of #macrophages in shaping the tumor #microenvironment in #cancer ... leading to the exploration of #adipose tissue and it's impact on #innateimmunity and #adaptiveimmunity in #ovariancancer to the point where resistancr to #immunotherapy is observed. These findings are then put into action for patient stratification, showing the utility in #radiology and #medicaloncology and #oncology #Science #medicine #immunology

Cytosolic viral RNA is detected by #antiviral #PatternRecognition receptors like RIG-I. This study shows that #Mediator subunit MED23 limits RIG-I expression via FOXO3, dampening #InnateImmunity & highlighting MED23 as a potential therapeutic target @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/457VwOe

#InnateImmunity is a crucial surveillance framework. However, @Colombani explores 2 @PLOSBiology studies which show that pre-malignant cells can exploit these regulatory circuits to enable unchecked #cancer growth.

Activation of the Drosophila innate immune system accelerates growth in cooperation with oncogenic Ras

Innate immune signaling acts as a surveillance system to fight potential infections, but it can become overactivated in malignant cells. These authors show that the tissue-protective functions of innate immune signaling involving oncogenic Ras can be misused by premalignant cells in Drosophila to induce overgrowth in the initial stages of tumor development.
