X: On the molecular biology of the hepatitis B virus X protein
Expression of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) accessory protein HBx is a requirement for viral replication. In this thesis, we investigated how HBx supports HBV replication, and we performed studies to identify its function. In chapter 2 we show that the overlap of reading frames in the HBV genome restricts viral evolution and affects the mutation rate ...

Abstract Hyperornithinemia‐hyperammonemia‐homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome is a rare metabolic condition that can cause lethargy, ataxia, tachypnea, nausea, vomiting, seizures, coma, and acute liver failure. We present a 26‐month‐old female with acute liver failure who was diagnosed with HHH 1 week after admission. Histology revealed an acute hepatitic

ABSTRACT This study developed a non‐invasive model using PIVKA‐II and MRI features to predict microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma, providing a reliable tool for early risk assessment and personalized treatment planning. The study included 98 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC (Child‐Pugh A, BCLC stage A), comprising 43 MVI ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Enterovirus infections in children
Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens causing a wide spectrum of diseases in children worldwide. This review summarizes the epidemiology, virology, viral replication, and virus‐host interactions of EVs. It also highlights current advances in clinical diagnosis, antiviral therapies, and vaccine development, providing insights into future strategies ...
