Topics include immune response mechanisms, the role of signaling molecules like cGAMP, and the importance of mRNA vaccines. It explains pathogen recognition via pattern recognition receptors, inflammasome formation involving proteins like ASC, and the activation of NLRP3 by PAMPS and DAMPS.

It outlines the links between climate variables and disease dynamics, examining the molecular adaptations of pathogens and their transmission via vector-borne diseases. It emphasizes the importance of understanding such relationships for predicting and preparing for future disease outbreaks and pandemics.

In cancer cells, the regulatory mechanisms that control cell division and limit abnormal growth have been disrupted, usually by the accumulation of several mutations. Cancer is therefore essentially a genetic disease.
