A synthetic platform for developing recombinant adeno‐associated virus type 8 producer cell lines
Abstract Recombinant adeno‐associated virus (rAAV) is one of the most widely used viral vectors for gene therapy. It is used in very high doses for the treatment of many diseases, making large‐scale production for clinical applications challenging. We have established a synthetic biology‐based platform to construct stable production cell lines, which ...

Guillain-Barre syndrome presenting with sensory disturbance following a herpes virus infection: a case report [PDF]
Introduction We present a case of an unusual clinical manifestation of Guillain-Barre syndrome following a pre-existing herpes virus infection. Although there have been several reports describing the co-existence of herpes virus infection and Guillain ...

Abstract Recombinant adeno‐associated virus (rAAV) is a widely used delivery vehicle in gene therapy. A scalable production technology is essential for its wide clinical applications. We have taken a synthetic biology approach to generate HEK293‐based cell lines which harbor integrated genetic elements encoding essential AAV and adenoviral helper ...

An investigation of herpes simplex virus promoter activity compatible with latency establishment reveals VP16-independent activation of immediate-early promoters in sensory neurones [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurones and it is widely assumed that latency is the consequence of a failure to initiate virus immediate-early (IE) gene expression. However, using a Ore reporter mouse system in

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Can the UNAIDS modes of transmission model be improved? A comparison of the original and revised model projections using data from a setting in west Africa. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The UNAIDS modes of transmission model (MoT) is a user-friendly model, developed to predict the distribution of new HIV infections among different subgroups. The model has been used in 29 countries to guide interventions. However, there is the

ABSTRACT The subfamily Gomphrenoideae is composed of about 480 accepted species, many of which have been historically used as medicinal plants, reason why they have been studied in terms of chemical profile, biological activity, and safety. This review consolidates the advances in research on this subfamily over the past 47 years, emphasizing its ...

The Immune Response to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection in Susceptible Mice is a Major Cause of CNS Pathology Resulting in Fatal Encephalitis [PDF]
This study was undertaken to investigate possible immune mechanisms in fatal HSV-1 encephalitis (HSE) after HSV-1 corneal inoculation. Susceptible 129S6 (129) but not resistant C57BL/6 (B6) mice developed intense focal inflammatory brainstem lesions of ...

Advancing FIRES Treatment: The Potential of Intrathecal Dexamethasone
ABSTRACT Background Febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare, devastating epilepsy syndrome characterized by refractory status epilepticus following a febrile illness. Patient Description We describe a 12‐year‐old girl with FIRES who exhibited a remarkable clinical and electrographic response to intrathecal dexamethasone (IT‐DEX ...

Herpes simplex virus-type1 (HSV-1) impairs DNA repair in cortical neurons [PDF]
Several findings suggest that Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection plays a role in the neurodegenerative processes that characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated.
