Viral Dynamic Model‐Informed Dose Selection of Mosnodenvir Prophylaxis against DENV‐3 in a Controlled Human Infection Model

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a significant global health threat. Mosnodenvir (JNJ‐64281802) is a pan‐serotype small molecule antiviral blocking DENV replication. A Phase IIa study (NCT05048875) evaluated the antiviral activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics of mosnodenvir as prophylaxis against DENV‐3 in a controlled human infection model (CHIM).

Drosophila male genitalia rotation depends on permissive remodeling of the posterior abdomen

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background One of the most characteristic morphogenetic processes in Drosophila is the 360° rotation of the male pupal genital disc. This movement is driven by the myosin Myo1D, whose expression in the genital disc is controlled by the Hox gene Abdominal‐B (Abd‐B).
