Diagnostic value of combined serum biomarkers for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C infection: A multicenter, noninterventional, observational study [PDF]

, 2018
Background/Aims: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is important cause of chronic hepatitis. Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for assessment of fibrosis but this procedure is an invasive procedure.

Viruses and drinking water [PDF]

, 1997
There is no evidence to indicate that there is a risk of acquiring a virus infection through the consumption of properly treated drinking water, provided the integrity of the distribution system is maintained and there is no post-treatment contamination.

TopCas: Topology‐Gated Cas12a via DNA‐RNA Chimeric Circular crRNA for Amplification‐Free Nucleic Acid Detection and Conditional Gene Editing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The TopCas platform utilizes an engineered DNA‐RNA chimeric circular crRNA to establish topology‐gated control over CRISPR‐Cas12a activity, enabling target‐triggered self‐catalytic amplification (preamplification‐free). This system seamlessly integrates highly sensitive molecular diagnostics with conditionally controlled gene editing, demonstrating ...

Dismantling Barriers to Hepatitis B and Delta Screening, Prevention, and Linkage to Care among the PWUD Community in Philadelphia

Viruses
The prevalence of hepatitis B and delta viruses (HBV/HDV) among people who use drugs (PWUD) remains largely unknown. In the context of one Philadelphia-based harm reduction organization (HRO), this study aimed to assess HBV/HDV prevalence and facilitate ...

Palmitic Acid Promotes Antiviral Innate Immunity via ZDHHC20‐Mediated CMPK2 Palmitoylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolites have important functions in innate immune activation and regulation. Wang et al. uncover metabolic regulation of antiviral immunity through CMPK2 palmitoylation, which regulates CMPK2 mitochondrial localization and is promoted by ZDHHC20 but reversed by PPT1, inhibition of which antagonizes viral infection in mice.

Lifetime medical costs of chronic hepatitis C in the United States

BMC Health Services Research
Background More than 2.4 million people were estimated to have chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in the United States from 2017 to 2020. Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy can cure hepatitis C and limit its complications, including liver cirrhosis and ...

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...
