First identification of a recombinant form of hepatitis C virus in Austrian patients by full-genome next generation sequencing. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) intergenotypic recombinant forms have been reported for various HCV genotypes/subtypes in several countries worldwide. In a recent study, four patients living in Austria had been identified to be possibly infected with a ...

Hepatitis C Virus Saint Petersburg Variant Detection With Machine Learning Methods
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus infection is a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. Although direct‐acting antivirals achieve over 90% success rate, treatment failures still occur, particularly when pan‐genotypic DAAs are unavailable, and drugs need to be chosen based on the present HCV genotype.

The astrocyte‐conditioned medium (ACM) was obtained by incubating astrocytes with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 h. After removing cellular debris, the mitochondria‐depleted astrocyte‐conditioned medium (mdACM) was produced by filtering out mitochondria from ACM using a 0.2‐μm filter.

Cytoskeletal Vimentin Directs Cell‐Cell Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus
A unique role of vimentin in orchestrating HCV cell–cell transmission is characterized, by specifically interacting with HCV structural protein E1 through the head domain of vimentin. It is further proved that vimentin functions through its cell surface form and vimentin antibody exerted a pronounced inhibitory effect on the cell–cell transmission of ...

A library of infectious hepatitis C viruses with engineered mutations in the E2 gene reveals growth-adaptive mutations that modulate interactions with scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]
While natural hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in highly diverse quasispecies of related viruses over time, mutations accumulate more slowly in tissue culture, in part because of the inefficiency of replication in cells.

Fuel Consumption Prediction in Regional Transport Based on Selected Bus Line Characteristics
From an operational, economic and environmental point of view, it is crucial for public transport authorities and operators to be able to estimate fuel consumption in suburban bus transport. This is especially important when planning a new bus line or re‐routing an existing one. This paper aims to identify a simple model for predicting fuel consumption
