Tumor immune evasion relies on the crosstalk between tumor cells and adaptive/innate immune cells. Immune checkpoints play critical roles in the crosstalk, and immune checkpoint inhibitors have achieved promising clinical effects. The long non-coding RNA taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The physiological functions of mast cells remain largely an enigma. In the context of barrier damage, mast cells are integrated in type 2 immunity and, together with immunoglobulin E (IgE), promote allergic diseases. Allergic symptoms may, however, facilitate expulsion of allergens, toxins and parasites and trigger future antigen avoidance.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a worldwide pandemic affecting the porcine industry and leading to important global economic consequences. The virus causes a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease in wild boars and domestic pigs. Lack of effective vaccines hampers the control of virus spread, thus increasing the pressure on the scientific community for urgent solutions.

Occipital headache, the perception of pain in the back of the head, is commonly described by patients diagnosed with migraine, tension-type headache, and occipital neuralgia. The greater and lesser occipital nerves play central role in the pathophysiology of occipital headache. In the clinical setup, such headaches are often treated with onabotulinumtoxinA, a neurotoxin capable of disrupting ability of nociceptors to get activated and/or release proinflammatory neuropeptides.

The innate immunity is frequently accepted as a first line of relatively primitive defense interfering with the pathogen invasion until the mechanisms of 'privileged' adaptive immunity with the production of antibodies and activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes 'steal the show'. Recent advancements on the molecular and cellular levels have shaken the traditional view of adaptive and innate immunity. The innate immune memory or 'trained immunity' based on metabolic changes and epigenetic reprogramming is a complementary process insuring adaptation of host defense to previous infections.
