Lung diseases such as asthma, chronic respiratory diseases, and lung cancer are among the most prevalent and vulnerable health conditions. Various therapeutic approaches, including nucleic acids, peptides, and small molecules have been developed along with different delivery strategies for their treatment. Liposomes have been recognized as promising delivery candidates attributed to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs effectively.

Viruses manipulate host cellular machinery to propagate their life cycle, with one key strategy being the mimicry of short linear motifs (SLiMs) found in host proteins. While databases continue to expand with virus-host protein-protein interaction (vhPPI) data, accurately predicting viral mimicry remains challenging due to the inherent degeneracy of SLiMs. In this study, we investigate how viral genomic composition influences motif mimicry and the mechanisms through which viruses hijack host cellular functions.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer mortality, with significant implications from the interplay between human genetics and microbial cells in the body.
  • The gut-lung axis and interactions between gut and lung microbiomes are believed to influence the progression of lung cancer and other lung diseases.
  • Advances in 16s rDNA sequencing have revealed the role of the lung microbiome in tumor development and treatment responses, suggesting that microbiome-based therapies could be a promising approach for improving LC treatment outcomes.
