Abstract
Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins are cell surface immune receptors known as Siglecs that play a paramount role as modulators of immunity. In recent years, research has underscored how the underlaying biology of this family of receptors influences the outcome of viral infections. While Siglecs are needed to promote effective antiviral immune responses, they can also pave the way to viral dissemination within tissues. Here, we review how recent preclinical findings focusing on the interplay between Siglecs and viruses may translate into promising broad-spectrum therapeutic interventions or key biomarkers to monitor the course of viral infections.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Aspects of Medicine is a review journal that serves as an official publication of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It caters to physicians and biomedical scientists and aims to bridge the gap between these two fields. The journal encourages practicing clinical scientists to contribute by providing extended reviews on the molecular aspects of a specific medical field. These articles are written in a way that appeals to both doctors who may struggle with basic science and basic scientists who may have limited awareness of clinical practice issues. The journal covers a wide range of medical topics to showcase the molecular insights gained from basic science and highlight the challenging problems that medicine presents to the scientific community.
