ABSTRACT Aim To explore emergency room nurses’ perceptions of preparedness for bioterrorism. Introduction In the context of evolving global security threats, including wars, terrorism, and emerging infectious diseases, it is critical to evaluate the bioterrorism response competencies of emergency room nurses and identify strategies to enhance their ...

Absence of an N-Linked Glycosylation Motif in the Glycoprotein of the Live-Attenuated Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever Vaccine, Candid #1, Results in Its Improper Processing, and Reduced Surface Expression [PDF]
Junin virus (JUNV), a highly pathogenic New World arenavirus, is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF). The live-attenuated Candid #1 (Can) strain currently serves as a vaccine for at-risk populations. We have previously shown that the

Therapeutic options for human papillomavirus‐positive tonsil and base of tongue cancer
Abstract The incidences of human papillomavirus‐positive (HPV+) tonsillar and base tongue squamous cell carcinomas (TSCC and BOTSCC) have increased in recent decades. Notably, HPV+ TSCC and BOTSCC have a significantly better prognosis than their HPV‐negative counterparts when treated with current surgical options, radiotherapy, or intensified ...

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Replicating viral vector platform exploits alarmin signals for potent CD8+ T cell-mediated tumour immunotherapy. [PDF]
Viral infections lead to alarmin release and elicit potent cytotoxic effector T lymphocyte (CTL <sup>eff</sup> ) responses. Conversely, the induction of protective tumour-specific CTL <sup>eff</sup> and their recruitment into the

The Lassa Virus Stable Signal Peptide Undergoes a Conformational Change to Aid Viral Fusion
The unique stable signal peptide (SSP) of the Lassa virus glycoprotein complex undergoes a conformational change during pH‐dependent viral fusion. This revels a potential mechanism by which the enigmatic SSP influences the fusion process through interactions it makes with the fusion protein, glycoprotein 2 (GP2).

An important step in the initiation of the innate immune response to virus infection is the recognition of non-self, viral RNA, including double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), by cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

Innate and adaptive immune control of genetically engineered live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes [PDF]
Arenaviruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) cause significant morbidity and mortality in endemic areas. Using a glycoprotein (GP) exchange strategy, we have recently developed live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes (rLCMV/VSVG) based on lymphocytic ...

Stress granules emerging during viral infection can play both pro‐ and antiviral roles. RNA viruses use various strategies to antagonize their formation, including the degradation, inhibition, or sequestration of G3BP1, a key stress granule protein. However, biochemical and structural insights into these mechanisms have been reported for only a handful
