Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Lipid Nanoparticle-Encapsulated TALEN-Encoding mRNA Inactivates Hepatitis B Virus Replication in Cultured Cells and Transgenic Mice

Viruses
Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) results in over 1 million deaths annually. Although currently licensed treatments, including pegylated interferon-α and nucleoside/nucleotide analogs, can inhibit viral replication, they rarely eradicate

Pharmacokinetic interaction between raltegravir and rifampicin in an infant with HIV exposed to active TB: a case report

Antiviral Therapy, 2022
We report a case of an infant with HIV receiving raltegravir granules for oral suspension and rifampicin-based TB prophylaxis. Raltegravir trough levels remained subtherapeutic and viral load increased during concurrent rifampicin therapy despite using ...

Hepatitis C virus pharmacogenomics in Latin American populations: implications in the era of direct-acting antivirals [PDF]

, 2017
In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of new therapeutic options for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The new direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) represent a great hope for millions of chronically infected individuals because ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

In Vitro Transcribed Artificial Primary MicroRNA for the Inhibition of Hepatitis B Virus Gene Expression in Cultured Cells

Microorganisms
Available interventions for the management of chronic hepatitis B (hepB) exhibit limited efficacy and barriers to vaccination against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) have hampered prophylaxis programmes.

Antiviral treatment alters the frequency of activating and inhibitory receptor-expressing natural killer cells in chronic Hepatitis B virus infected patients [PDF]

, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in innate antiviral immunity, but little is known about the impact of antiviral therapy on the frequency of NK cell subsets.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Long-term inhibition of Hepatitis B virus gene expression by a primary microrna expressing ancestral adeno-associated viral vector

Virology Journal
Current treatments for chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) rarely cure carriers from the disease. Previously reported use of serotype 8 adeno-associated viral (AAV8) vectors to deliver expression cassettes encoding anti-HBV artificial ...

Curing Hepatitis C in Liver Transplant Recipients Is Associated with Changes in Immunosuppressant Use. [PDF]

, 2016
Background and aimsAll-oral interferon-free antivirals are highly effective in treating recurrent hepatitis C (HCV) infection in liver transplant (LT) recipients.
