Recent advances in isothermal amplification techniques coupled with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/Cas systems

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Isothermal amplification (IA) techniques have emerged as promising alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enabling rapid and efficient nucleic acid amplification at constant temperatures. Meanwhile, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas‐based technology has revolutionized molecular diagnostics by ...

Immunological and Safety Considerations When Selecting the Dose Formulation of a Purified Inactivated Zika Virus Vaccine (PIZV)

open access: yesMicroorganisms
We previously reported the first-in-human assessment of three doses (2, 5, and 10 µg) of purified inactivated Zika virus vaccine (PIZV or TAK-426) in the Phase 1 ZIK-101 study (NCT03343626).

Seroprevalence of Zika virus in wild African green monkeys and baboons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently spread through the Americas and has been associated with a range of health effects, including birth defects in children born to women infected during pregnancy. Although the natural reservoir of ZIKV remains poorly defined,

A Focus on Natural Autophagy Modulators as Potential Host‐Directed Weapons Against Emerging and Re‐Emerging Viruses

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular process involved in maintaining homeostasis and in the degradation of damaged organelles and external pathogens. Nature provides complex and varied reservoirs of scaffolds and chemical entities that may have a pivotal role in the search for new therapeutic leads.

“Molecular Docking and Dynamic Studies of Amide Derivatives from Cinnamic Acid with Potential Anti‐Dengue Virus Activity”

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
A library of easily synthesizable CAPE analogs was screened in silico against the dengue virus envelope protein. Compound LQM778 showed stable binding and promising inhibitory potential. This study highlights LQM778 as a candidate for future in vitro validation and structural optimization toward accessible antiviral agents against dengue.

The interferon-stimulated gene IFITM3 restricts West Nile virus infection and pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM) family of proteins inhibit infection of several different enveloped viruses in cell culture by virtue of their ability to restrict entry and fusion from late endosomes.

Advancing dengue vaccine development: Challenges, innovations, and the path toward global protection

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Dengue vaccine development faces challenges, including antibody‐dependent enhancement and serotype‐specific immunity. This review highlights licensed vaccines, CYD‐TDV, TAK‐003, and Butantan‐DV, and explores strategies for achieving effective multivalent protection.

Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.
