Immunological response of Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen in HBV Mono and HBV/HDV Co-infection

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can evolve under selection pressure exerted by drugs and host immunity, resulting in the accumulation of escape mutations that can affect the drug or the immune activity.

Epidemiological patterns of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in highly endemic areas [PDF]

, 1996
This paper uses meta-analysis of published data and a deterministic mathematical model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission to describe the patterns of HBV infection in high endemicity areas.

Evaluating the Antiviral Efficacy of Encapsulated PKC Inhibitor BIM‐I against influenza A Virus Infection

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores nanoparticle delivery of the protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide‐I (BIM‐I) to combat influenza A virus infections. Encapsulation in biodegradable PLGA nanoparticles improved safety while maintaining the compound's strong antiviral activity.

Epidemiology of the Hepatitis D virus

WikiJournal of Medicine, 2020
Hepatitis D is a globally occurring liver disease. It afflicts those who have been infected by both the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and also the Hepatitis D virus (HDV), since HDV needs the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to replicate.

Identification of a novel interaction site between the large hepatitis delta antigen and clathrin that regulates the assembly of genotype III hepatitis delta virus

Virology Journal, 2022
Background Hepatitis delta virus (HDV), a satellite virus of hepatitis B virus (HBV), is a small, defective RNA virus strongly associated with the most severe form of hepatitis and progressive chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.

Dual‐Functional Polyphosphoesters for Gene Delivery: Synergistic Effects of Guanidinium and Hydrophobic Side Chains in Degradable Polymers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents guanidinium‐ and indole‐functionalized polyphosphoesters as degradable, non‐viral gene delivery vectors. Through precise tuning of charge density and hydrophobicity, these polymers form stable polyplexes with low toxicity. Remarkably, minor structural changes yield up to 200‐fold differences in transfection efficiency, highlighting ...
