Recombinant Sendai Virus Vectors as Novel Vaccine Candidates Against Animal Viruses by Álex Gómez, Ramsés Reina

“…Recombinant SeV vectors (rSeVv) possess several key features that make them highly suitable for developing vaccination strategies: (1) SeV has exclusively cytoplasmic replication cycle, therefore incapable of transforming host cells by integrating into the cellular genome, (2) rSeVv can accommodate large foreign gene/s inserts (~5 kb) with strong but adjustable transgene expression, (3) can be propagated to high titers in both embryonated chicken eggs and mammalian cell lines, (4) exhibits potent infectivity across a broad range of mammalian cells from different animals species, (5) undergo transient replication in the upper and lower respiratory tracts of non-natural hosts, (6) has not been associated with disease in pigs, non-humans primates, and small ruminants, ensuring a favorable safety profile, and (7) induce a robust innate and cellular immune responses. …”

Dysbiosis and extraintestinal cancers by Ruishan He, Pingqian Qi, Linzhen Shu, Yidan Ding, Peng Zeng, Guosheng Wen, Ying Xiong, Huan Deng

“…Despite recent advances in the remarkable correlation between dysbiosis and extraintestinal cancers, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully elucidated. Pathogenic microbiota, along with their metabolites, can undermine the integrity of the gut barrier through inflammatory or metabolic pathways, leading to increased permeability and the translocation of pathogens. …”
