The tax-inducible actin-bundling protein fascin is crucial for release and cell-to-cell transmission of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) [PDF]
The delta-retrovirus Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) preferentially infects CD4(+) T-cells via cell-to-cell transmission. Viruses are transmitted by polarized budding and by transfer of viral biofilms at the virological synapse (VS ...

Neutrophil‐reactive autoantibodies in blood donors: Can we expect TRALI?
Abstract Background Transfusion‐related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a clinical condition characterized by acute non‐cardiogenic pulmonary edema during or after transfusion. Despite several mitigation strategies, TRALI remains a leading cause of transfusion‐related deaths.
