Molecular Testing in Sickle Cell Disease: From Newborn Screening to Transfusion Care

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most frequent monogenic diseases worldwide and a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. SCD care carries several challenges. This includes early and accurate diagnosis as well as optimal red blood cell transfusion matching in this population carrying a high risk of alloimmunization.

c-di-GMP modulates type IV MSHA pilus retraction and surface attachment in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

, 2020
Biofilm formation by Vibrio cholerae facilitates environmental persistence, and hyperinfectivity within the host. Biofilm formation is regulated by 3',5'-cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) and requires production of the type IV mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin

Characterising the Transcriptomic Response to Interferon and Infection in European Domestic Ferret Respiratory Tissues Using Long‐Read RNA Sequencing

Immunology, EarlyView.
We utilised long‐read Nanopore sequencing to characterise the transcriptome of ferret cell lines stimulated with IFN‐α as well as nasal turbinates from ferrets infected with influenza A virus. We identified novel genes and isoforms and observed elongation of poly(A) tails in the ribosome and Coronavirus Disease‐19 pathways in response to IFN‐α ...

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

A Modified Novel Validated High-Throughput Hemagglutinin Inhibition Assay Using Recombinant Virus-like Particles and Human Red Blood Cells for the Objective Evaluation of Recombinant Hemagglutinin Nanoparticle Seasonal Influenza Vaccine

Microorganisms
Currently available seasonal influenza vaccines confer variable protection due to antigenic changes resulting from the accumulation of diverse mutations. The analysis of new seasonal influenza vaccines is challenging in part due to the limitations of the

The Americanization of Nigerian English spelling and punctuation

World Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract Spelling is the most standardized level of language, and prescriptive spelling norms in former British colonies often advocate adherence to British spelling norms which differs from the local linguistic reality. Hence, recent research on the evolution of postcolonial Englishes and the Americanization of Englishes worldwide has questioned the ...
