| Scientists reported that interferon-induced transmembrane protein-1 (IFITM1) inhibited ephrin receptor A2-mediated Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) entry into epithelial cells (ECs). RNA-sequencing and clinical sample analysis showed reduced IFITM1 in EBV-positive ECs.

|
| An immunoinformatics method was applied to design a multi-epitope vaccine against the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The best B- and T-cell epitopes from conserved regions of the E2 protein of seven HCV genotypes were joined with the appropriate linkers to design a multi-epitope vaccine.

| Researchers performed a high-throughput screening of FDA-approved compound library in the J-Lat A2 cell line. They discovered ripretinib being an latency-promoting agent candidate, which was validated and observed to hinder proviral activation in cell models harboring latent infections.

| Scientists showed that the action of IFNγ was indirect, as CD4+ T cell-mediated control of type 1 alveolar epithelial cell infection depended on IFNγ receptor expression in CD11c+ cells.

| Investigators focus on three major aspects of oncoviruses’ role in cancer development. They discuss geographic distribution, revealing that seven oncoviruses cause 20% of all human cancers worldwide.

| The authors highlight the potential direct and indirect role that HIV infection may play in the development of erythema multiforme and the clinical dilemma that arises in the management of HIV-infected patients with this condition.

| The World Health Organization is opening up the definition of airborne pathogens – such as Covid-19, influenza and measles – to include when respiratory droplets spread through the air and when they land on a person, regardless of the size of the droplet.
