The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Hepatitis E virus — an update. [PDF]

Liver, 1999
Abstract: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the principal cause of enterically‐transmitted, non‐A, nori‐B hepatitis and has been associated with excess mortality in pregnant women infected during epidemics. Molecular cloning of the viral genome led to the development of diagnostic tests, including enzyme immunoassays for antibody and RT‐PCR for viral RNA ...

Leprosy and hepatitis B coinfection in southern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
To investigate the association of leprosy with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as yet unknown for South Brazil, we assessed hepatitis B virus coinfection in 199 South Brazilian leprosy patients (119 lepromatous, 15 tuberculoid, 30 borderline, 12 ...

The use of non-human primates as animal models for the study of hepatitis viruses

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Hepatitis viruses belong to different families and have in common a striking hepatotropism and restrictions for propagation in cell culture. The transmissibility of hepatitis is in great part limited to non-human primates.

Overview of hepatitis E virus [PDF]

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2002
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enterically transmitted virus usually presenting as an acute self-limiting disease. However, mortality increases dramatically from around 1% to 20% in pregnant women. HEV has been the cause of very large outbreaks of hepatitis in developing countries and is also responsible for a significant number of sporadic cases. It is

Identification of hepatitis a virus mimotopes by phage display, antigenicity and immunogenicity [PDF]

, 2007
A phage-displayed peptide approach was used to identify ligands mimicking antigenic determinants of hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the first time. Bacteriophages displaying HAV mimotopes were isolated from a phage-display peptide library by affinity ...

Inhibition of AMPKα Pathway by Podocyte GOLM1 Exacerbates Diabetic Nephrology in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Podocyte Golgi membrane protein 1 interacts with epidermal growth factor receptor to inhibit peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ, and then inactivates adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase α pathway, which facilitates diabetes‐related inflammation, oxidative damage, apoptosis, and renal dysfunction.

Antiviral treatment alters the frequency of activating and inhibitory receptor-expressing natural killer cells in chronic Hepatitis B virus infected patients [PDF]

, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in innate antiviral immunity, but little is known about the impact of antiviral therapy on the frequency of NK cell subsets.
