CRISPR/Cas13a-assisted rapid and portable HBV DNA detection for low-level viremia patients. [PDF]
Background & Aims The WHO declared to eliminate hepatitis B virus (HBV) by 2030. However, an increasing number of patients are presenting with low-level viremia (LLV) with the widespread use of antiviral medications.

HBV‐RNA Co‐amplification May Influence HBV DNA Viral Load Determination
Despite effective hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐DNA suppression, HBV RNA can circulate in patients receiving nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs). Current assays quantify HBV DNA by either real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which uses DNA polymerase ...

HBV DNA polymerase regulates tumor cell glycogen to enhance the malignancy of HCC cells. [PDF]
Background:. The essential function of HBV DNA polymerase (HBV-DNA-Pol) is to initiate viral replication by reverse transcription; however, the role of HBV-DNA-Pol in HBV-associated HCC has not been clarified.

APOBEC3B edits HBV DNA and inhibits HBV replication during reverse transcription
Hepatitis B virus is a partially double-stranded DNA virus that replicates by reverse transcription, which occurs within viral core particles in the cytoplasm. The cytidine deaminase APOBEC3B is a cellular restriction factor for HBV. Recently, it was reported that APOBEC3B can edit HBV cccDNA in the nucleus, causing its degradation.
