Olfactory tuft cells communicate with other mucosal cells in maintaining olfactory epithelial immunity and sensory function. Disruption of tuft cell signalling pathways causes a skewed immune response, leading to heightened inflammation and increased activation of the quiescent stem cells, which are further exacerbated by viral infection.

Superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation combined with continuous positive airway pressure/assisted spontaneous breathing improves oxygenation in patients with H1N1-associated ARDS [PDF]
Background: Numerous cases of swine-origin 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus (H1N1)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) bridged by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy have been reported; however, complication rates are high. We

Anti‐idiotypic antibodies as molecular mimics of conserved influenza hemagglutinin epitopes
Abstract Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) provide insights for developing universal influenza vaccines through their ability to neutralize diverse viral strains. However, designing antigens that reliably elicit bNAb responses remains challenging due to the difficulty in targeting conserved epitopes with a single antigen.

Frequent intra-subtype recombination among HIV-1 circulating in Tanzania. [PDF]
The study estimated the prevalence of HIV-1 intra-subtype recombinant variants among female bar and hotel workers in Tanzania. While intra-subtype recombination occurs in HIV-1, it is generally underestimated.

Generation of a Reassortant Influenza A Subtype H3N2 Virus Expressing Gaussia Luciferase
Reporter influenza A viruses (IAVs) carrying fluorescent or luminescent genes provide a powerful tool for both basic and translational research. Most reporter IAVs are based on the backbone of either subtype H1N1 viruses, A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8) or A ...

Identification of a highly conserved H1 subtype-specific epitope with diagnostic potential in the hemagglutinin protein of influenza A virus. [PDF]
Subtype specificity of influenza A virus (IAV) is determined by its two surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). For HA, 16 distinct subtypes (H1-H16) exist, while nine exist for NA.

Molecular detection of H1N1 virus by conventional reverse transcription PCR coupled with nested PCR
Influenza A pdm09 virus has been spreading worldwide and creates a serious public health threat. Among different subtypes/lineages of swine influenza A viruses, the H1N1 subtype is more prevalent in all-over world infections followed by H3N2 which is ...

Favipiravir (T‐705) and the non‐fluorinated counterpart (T‐1106) are antiviral agents that inhibit the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of various RNA viruses. The antiviral efficacy of nucleoside analogues is strongly dependent on their intracellular activation by cellular kinases to produce their corresponding triphosphate metabolites (T‐705‐RTP ...
