Prevalence of chronic hepatitis B in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea

Western Pacific Surveillance and Response, 2020
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects over 250 million people worldwide. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) CHB prevalence has been estimated to be over 8% and is a leading cause of death. To address this problem, an alliance between the government of Oro Province, a

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Virologic Tools for HCV Drug Resistance Testing

Viruses, 2015
Recent advances in molecular biology have led to the development of new antiviral drugs that target specific steps of the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) lifecycle. These drugs, collectively termed direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), include non-structural (NS) HCV

An expert consensus for the management of chronic hepatitis B in Asian Americans. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is common with major clinical consequences. In Asian Americans, the HBsAg carrier rate ranges from 2% to 16% which approximates the rates from their countries of origin.

Clinical Conditions Associated With a High Antinuclear Antibody Titer in Individuals Without Autoimmune Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are present at high titers in 2% of the general population, but their clinical significance in individuals without an autoimmune (AI) disease is not known. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of a high ANA titer in non‐AI conditions is associated with disease.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Neutralizing hepatitis B [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2020
Despite an effective vaccine, hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major public health threat since chronic infection leads to liver disease and cancer. Hehle et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20200840) discovered human-derived antibodies that potently neutralize the virus. Will this help a cure?
