Viroid Pathogenicity: One Process, Many Faces
Despite the non-coding nature of their small RNA genomes, the visible symptoms of viroid infection resemble those associated with many plant virus diseases. Recent evidence indicates that viroid-derived small RNAs acting through host RNA silencing pathways play a key role in viroid pathogenicity. Host responses to viroid infection are complex, involving signaling cascades containing host-encode...
متن کاملZika virus NS1, a pathogenicity factor with many faces.
Recent publications in The EMBO Journal (Xu et al, 2016) and in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology (Brown et al, 2016) report crystal structures of the Zika virus (ZIKV) NS1 protein. The structures reveal unique surface properties that help explain the specificity of anti-ZIKV NS1 antibodies. Possible functions of this multifaceted pathogenicity factor are discussed here on the basis of the ...
متن کاملCancer cell metabolism: one hallmark, many faces.
Cancer cells must rewire cellular metabolism to satisfy the demands of growth and proliferation. Although many of the metabolic alterations are largely similar to those in normal proliferating cells, they are aberrantly driven in cancer by a combination of genetic lesions and nongenetic factors such as the tumor microenvironment. However, a single model of altered tumor metabolism does not desc...
متن کاملPancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed by EUS: one disease, many faces.
CONTEXT Pancreatic/para-pancreatic tuberculosis is an extremely rare clinical entity even in endemic regions. It can present as a cystic or solid pancreatic mass mimicking pancreatic malignancy. There are no specific imaging criteria and the clinical symptoms remain vague. Therefore, most cases are diagnosed after surgical exploration for presumed pancreatic neoplasia. CASE REPORT We report f...
متن کاملPrimary biliary cirrhosis: one disease with many faces.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is considered a model autoimmune disease because of the similarities between patients, their relative homogeneous presentation and natural history, and the presence of the signature autoantibody, the antimitochondrial antibodies. PBC also illustrates the potential role of genetic and environmental influence and is unique in having several well-defined animal mode...
