Viral Vector-Based Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is a technique involving the modification of an individual’s genes for treating a particular disease. The key to effective gene therapy is an efficient carrier delivery system. Viral vectors that have been artificially modified to lose their

The accessibility of the HSV genome during productive infection can vary in different cell types and affect the outcome of infection [PDF]
During productive herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, the viral genome encounters a number of cellular and viral proteins, such as ICP4, which engage in processes that either attenuate or activate transcription.

SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes Are Most Highly Expressed in Nasal Goblet and Ciliated Cells within Human Airways [PDF]
We investigated SARS-CoV-2 potential tropism by surveying expression of viral entry-associated genes in single-cell RNA-sequencing data from multiple tissues from healthy human donors. We co-detected these transcripts in specific respiratory, corneal and

All About the RNA: Interferon-Stimulated Genes That Interfere With Viral RNA Processes
Interferon (IFN) signaling induces the expression of a wide array of genes, collectively referred to as IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) that generally function to inhibit viral replication.
