Unveiling the Power of Interferons: How Cellular Signaling Drives Anti Cancer Defense
Introduction Interferons nature’s multi-functional cytokinesstand at the frontline of the body’s defense against viruses and cancer. Originally discovered for their antiviral properties, interferons (IFNs) have since emerged as potent regulators of immune signaling, tumor suppression, and therapeutic innovation. This review from Archives of Biotechnology and Biomedicine provides an in-depth overview of interferon characteristics, mechanisms of…

Why HIV-1 Vaccine Remains Elusive Immune Evasion Holds the Key
Introduction Despite decades of global research efforts, developing an effective vaccine against HIV-1 remains a significant medical challenge. A major reason behind this failure is the virus’s exceptional ability to evade the human immune system through genetic diversity and complex interactions with host cells. This review, led by researchers from the Pasteur Institute of Iran,…

Can Bisphenol A Trigger Childhood Asthma Insights from Human and Animal Studies
Introduction: Is your child’s asthma risk influenced by hidden chemicals in everyday plastics? Recent studies reveal that early-life exposure to the environmental estrogen Bisphenol A (BPA) commonly found in baby bottles, food containers, and even receipts may be a silent contributor to rising asthma rates in children. This comprehensive review combines findings from eight human…
