Analysis of the Cell Type-Dependence on the Arenavirus Z-Mediated Virus-Like Particle Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Several arenaviruses are highly pathogenic to humans, causing hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of anti-arenavirus drug candidates is urgently needed, although the molecular basis of the host- and organ-specific pathogenicity remains to be fully elucidated ...

Tacaribe virus but not junin virus infection induces cytokine release from primary human monocytes and macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 The mechanisms underlying the development of disease during arenavirus infection are poorly understood. However, common to all hemorrhagic fever diseases is the involvement of macrophages as primary target cells, suggesting that the immune response in ...

Andean Lima Bean Ecology and Its Potential Contribution to Food Security
Legume Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2024.ABSTRACT The Andean lima bean (ALB) (Phaseolus lunatus L.), also known as “Pallar” in Peru, is a large, semi‐flat, kidney‐shaped rarely investigated legume. This ancestral legume lacks in‐depth scientific reports and is mainly cultivated in the coastal region of the Ica valley. Its consumption dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by archaeological
