O‐glycosylation in viruses: A sweet tango

open access: yesmLife, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 57-73, March 2024.
Abstract O‐glycosylation is an ancient yet underappreciated protein posttranslational modification, on which many bacteria and viruses heavily rely to perform critical biological functions involved in numerous infectious diseases or even cancer. But due to the innate complexity of O‐glycosylation, research techniques have been limited to study its ...

Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles (MISEV2023): From basic to advanced approaches

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs), through their complex cargo, can reflect the state of their cell of origin and change the functions and phenotypes of other cells. These features indicate strong biomarker and therapeutic potential and have generated broad interest, as evidenced by the steady year‐on‐year increase in the numbers of scientific ...

Utilizing non‐human primate models to combat recent COVID‐19/SARS‐CoV‐2 and viral infectious disease outbreaks

open access: yesJournal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract In recent times, global viral outbreaks and diseases, such as COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2), Zika (ZIKV), monkeypox (MPOX), Ebola (EBOV), and Marburg (MARV), have been extensively documented. Swiftly deciphering the mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis and devising vaccines or therapeutic interventions to curtail these outbreaks stand as ...
