Behavior out of control: Experimental evolution of resistance to host manipulation
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many parasites alter their host's phenotype in a manner that enhances their own fitness beyond the benefits they would gain from normal exploitation. Such host manipulation is rarely consistent with the host's best interests resulting in suboptimal and ...

HCV susceptibility and host genetics
, 2023 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection still poses a major health problem worldwide. The prevalence varies across countries with an estimated ~1% from the total population being infected. Major advancements have been made over the last years in the development of therapeutics to treat HCV infection, which are typically well-tolerated oral direct-acting ...

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Increased graft-versus-host susceptibility of thymectomized recipients
Transplantation, 1967 SummaryThymectomy performed immediately after birth increases the susceptibility of (C3H X A)F1 recipients to development of splenomegaly following the injection of spleen cells from A and C3H mice, and of C3H recipients to produce splenomegaly following the injection of spleen cells from A mice.
