Abstract
The Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) family is an important component of the antiviral immune response. There are currently four known IFIT family members in humans, namely IFIT1, IFIT2, IFIT3 and IFIT5. Recent discoveries have brought attention to the significant roles of IFITs in cancer. This review summarises current knowledge on the biological roles of different IFIT proteins in various types of malignant neoplasm, and highlights the potential use of these molecules as cancer biomarkers and prognostic factors.
Keywords: Cancer, interferon-induced protein, tetratricopeptide repeats, IFIT, biomarker, prognostic factor.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
