2D nanosheets, with large surface area, excellent optical/electrical properties, and high specificity, combine with lateral flow assay strips to enable rapid, readable detection, boosting the strips’ development and applications. Abstract Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are widely used for point‐of‐care diagnostics, but their detection capability remains ...

Origin and characteristics of internal genes affect infectivity of the novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human infection with a novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus occurred continuously in China during the first half of 2013, with high infectivity and pathogenicity to humans. In this study, we investigated the origin of internal genes of

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Background: A novel avian influenza A H7N9 virus that infects humans was identified in China in 2013. This study is the first to comprehensively investigate the characteristics of genomic recombination, rather than reassortment, which has been the ...

Entry properties and entry inhibitors of a human H7N9 influenza virus. [PDF]
The recently identified human infections with a novel avian influenza H7N9 virus in China raise important questions regarding possible risk to humans. However, the entry properties and tropism of this H7N9 virus were poorly understood.

Emergence of a new strain of the avian influenza A (H7N9) virus
The first 3 cases of infection with a novel avian-origin reassortant influenza A (H7N9) virus were identified in China between February and March 2013. The cases were characterized by rapidly progressive pneumonia, respiratory failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome leading to fatal outcome. Up till April 30, 2013, a total of 128 cases of H7N9

Influenza virus infection drives upregulation of CD84 across a broad range of immune cells
Our findings reveal a link between high CD84 expression in humans and recovery from respiratory viral infections. In influenza virus‐infected mice, CD84 is upregulated on a broad range of innate and adaptive immune cell populations, particularly on activated and influenza virus‐specific T‐cell populations and associated with less disease severity ...

Novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus in the human
The recent article on the novel H7N9 bird flu is very interesting. As Tang and Chen mentioned, there are indeed many interesting considerations involving this new emerging infection. First, the possibility of human to human transmission of this new infection should be discussed. In fact, if human to human transmission occurs, a worldwide pandemic could

Sex Differences in Lung Immunity
ABSTRACT Biological sex has a significant impact on how the immune system develops and responds to foreign and self‐antigens. Sex differences exist in innate and adaptive immune cells, both at homeostasis and in the context of infection and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
