Physico-chemical requirements and kinetics of membrane fusion of flavivirus-like particles. [PDF]

, 2015
Flaviviruses deliver their RNA genome into the host-cell cytoplasm by fusing their lipid envelope with a cellular membrane. Expression of the flavivirus pre-membrane and envelope glycoprotein genes in the absence of other viral genes results in the ...

Perfusable Brain Microvascular Network‐On‐Chip Model to Study Flavivirus NS1‐Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a microfluidic brain microvascular network‐on‐chip (BMVasChip) to investigate endothelial barrier dysfunction caused by flavivirus non‐structural protein 1 (NS1), including virus‐ and time‐dependent vascular damage, leakiness, and dysfunction.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Carbon Quantum Dots Assisted Virus Tracking: From Skin to Brain

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel carbon quantum dots‐dissolvable microneedle, CQDs‐dMN system, enables painless delivery and real‐time tracking of HSV‐1. The HSV‐1 is labeled with fluorescent CQDs and delivered to the skin dermis, minimizing damage compared to traditional methods.

PIM1 Attenuates Innate Immunity to Foster Coronavirus Replication through Ubiquitin Ligase β‐TrCP‐Mediated IFNAR1 Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hijacking Host Kinase PIM1: A β‐Coronavirus (OC43) strategy to degrade IFNAR1 and evade antiviral immunity. Human β‐coronaviruses (OC43) exploit the proto‐oncoprotein PIM1 kinase to sabotage innate immunity. Viral RNA/proteins upregulate PIM1, which phosphorylates E3 ligase β‐TrCP1.

Mortality associated with avian reovirus infection in a free-living magpie (Pica pica) in Great Britain [PDF]

, 2015
Avian reoviruses (ARVs) cause a range of disease presentations in domestic, captive and free-living bird species. ARVs have been reported as a cause of significant disease and mortality in free-living corvid species in North America and continental ...

A Viral RNA Silencing Suppressor Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species Levels to Induce the Autophagic Degradation of Dicer‐Like and Argonaute‐Like Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Understanding the virus‐host arms race has been a fascinating topic in virology; contributing significantly to the development of treatments and control strategies for viral diseases. CHV1 employs a sophisticated counter‐defense mechanism in its fungal host by utilizing a viral silencing suppressor to inhibit fungal FMN reductase; thereby modulating ...
