🦜Interferon regulatory factors are key to antiviral immunity, yet their role in birds was only recently described.

👾Comparing immune signaling in mammals and birds is crucial for developing better antivirals and vaccines, as birds represent a natural reservoir of various pathogens.

🧬 Hepatocellular carcinoma is a tumor with high metastasis and complex pathophysiology.
🧱 Tissue mechanics play a key role in tumor onset and progression.
🛑 Inhibiting plectin, a cytoskeletal crosslinker, suppresses tumor growth via its mechanosensitivity.

👥Thousands of rare diseases are often insufficiently researched and there is no effective treatment.

🧪The Czech Centre for Phenogenomics has therefore launched the RD-Factory program, which aims to find out more about these diseases, improve diagnostics and find treatments.
