Article Synopsis
  • - The discontinuation of the smallpox vaccine in 1980 has led to increased cases of poxvirus infections like monkeypox, raising public health concerns due to lack of immunity in the population.
  • - This study uses the ectromelia virus (ECTV), responsible for mousepox, as a model to explore poxvirus behavior and the role of mitochondria in immune response during ECTV infection.
  • - Results show that altering the shape of the mitochondrial network affects MAVS-dependent immunity, with elongated networks reducing ECTV replication and fragmented networks leading to increased immune response suppression during infection.

Background/aim: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the deadliest form of cancer worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms of lung cancer development is vital for targeted therapy advancements. This article explores the little-known role of the guanylate kinase-associated protein (GKAP), encoded by the Disks large-associated protein 1 (DLGAP1) gene, in NSCLC along with assessing microRNA-30a-5p's influence on DLGAP1 gene expression in the A549 cell line.

Femoral head-neck defects are commonly reported in the anatomical and anthropological literature. The best-known types are Poirier's facet and Allen's fossa; however, their aetiology and definition are still debated. The aim of this study was to analyse the frequency of Poirier's facet in the skeletal population from Radom (Poland, 14-19 century).
