Hepatitis C Virus Saint Petersburg Variant Detection With Machine Learning Methods. [PDF]
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.

In Vitro Comparison of the Internal Ribosomal Entry Site Activity from Rodent Hepacivirus and Pegivirus and Construction of Pseudoparticles [PDF]
The 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of rodent hepacivirus (RHV) and pegivirus (RPgV) contains sequence homology to the HCV type III internal ribosome entry sites (IRES).

Ion-channel function and cross-species determinants in viral assembly of nonprimate hepacivirus p7 [PDF]
Nonprimate hepacivirus (NPHV), the closest homolog of hepatitis C virus (HCV) described to date, has recently been discovered in horses. Even though the two viruses share a similar genomic organization, conservation of the encoded hepaciviral proteins ...

Clinical Relevance and Drug Modulation of PPAR Signaling Pathway in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Analysis. [PDF]
Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly heterogeneous and poses a significant medical challenge due to limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors (PPARs) play a crucial role in regulating metabolism and cell fate. While the association between PPAR signal and human cancers has been a topic of concern,

Nonprimate Hepaciviruses in Domestic Horses, United Kingdom [PDF]
Although the origin of hepatitis C virus infections in humans remains undetermined, a close homolog of this virus, termed canine hepacivirus (CHV) and found in respiratory secretions of dogs, provides evidence for a wider distribution of hepaciviruses in

Background We have previously isolated a highly mutated VH1-02 antibody termed group C 76-Q13-6F5 (6F5) that targets a conformational epitope on gp41. 6F5 has the capacity to mediate Ab dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC).

miRNA independent hepacivirus variants suggest a strong evolutionary pressure to maintain miR-122 dependence [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) requires the liver specific micro-RNA (miRNA), miR-122, to replicate. This was considered unique among RNA viruses until recent discoveries of HCV-related hepaciviruses prompting the question of a more general miR-122 dependence ...
