Complete Spectrum of CRISPR/Cas9-induced Mutations on HBV cccDNA [PDF]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes chronic infections that cannot yet be cured. The virus persists in infected hepatocytes, because covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), the template for the transcription of viral RNAs, is stable in nondividing cells. Antiviral therapies with nucleoside analogues inhibit HBV DNA synthesis in capsids in the cytoplasm of ...

DAMPs, PAMPs, and Alarmins: From Mechanism to Therapy
This review synthesizes the expanding biology of PAMPs and DAMPs, from their molecular sources and sensing mechanisms to regulatory networks that govern inflammation and homeostasis. Spanning from classical immune activation to trained immunity and interorgan communication, we highlight the interplay between PAMPs and DAMPs and their context‐dependent ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major health problem worldwide. Sufficient maintenance of the HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), which serves as a template for HBV transcription, is responsible for the failure of antiviral therapies.

Gene Therapy for Chronic HBV—Can We Eliminate cccDNA? [PDF]
Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a global health concern and accounts for approximately 1 million deaths annually. Amongst other limitations of current anti-HBV treatment, failure to eliminate the viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and emergence of resistance remain the most worrisome.

HBV reactivation incidence varied across immunosuppressive and chemotherapeutic agents. Clinically meaningful HBV reactivation was also observed in patients receiving corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive therapies. ABSTRACT Background Data on the incidence of hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBVr) remain limited. In Japan, patients who are

G‐Quadruplexes: Structural Diversity and Emerging Roles in Biomolecular Condensation
G‐quadruplexes (G4s) fold into diverse intra‐ and intermolecular structures, positioning them as emerging regulators of biomolecular condensation. Mechanistically, G4s autonomously form condensates, act as structural platforms to initiate and stimulate condensation, or induce phase transitions.

Possible dynamics of HBV cccDNA between vector delivery doses.
(a) Cell death inducing decay of incorporated episome. (b) Episomal degradation. (c) cccDNA expansion despite suppressive antiviral therapy. (d) Hepatocyte replication with equal dispersion of cccDNA molecules between cells.

Attacking hepatitis B virus cccDNA - The holy grail to hepatitis B cure.
HBV deposits a covalently closed circular DNA form, called cccDNA, in the nucleus of infected cells. As the central transcription template, the cccDNA minichromosome is a key intermediate in the HBV life cycle.
