Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems
Hearing loss is a common disease affecting many people, and inner ear lesions are one of the most important causes. This review focuses on the treatment of inner ear hearing loss by drug delivery systems. It includes the current methods and technologies developed, and it predicts possible directions.

Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus in South America [PDF]
Although foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) incidence has decreased in South America over the last years, the pathogen still circulates in the region and the risk of re-emergence in previously FMDV-free areas is a veterinary public health concern. In this paper we merge environmental, epidemiological and genetic data to reconstruct spatiotemporal ...

Construction and Characterization of Adenovirus Serotype 5 Packaged by Serotype 3 Hexon [PDF]
ABSTRACT Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) has great potential for gene therapy applications. A major limitation, however, is the host immune response against Ad5 infection that often prevents the readministration of Ad5 vectors. In this regard, the most abundant capsid protein, hexon, has been implicated as the major target for neutralizing ...

Development of ListeriaBase and comparative analysis of Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]
Background: Listeria consists of both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. Reports of similarities between the genomic content between some pathogenic and non-pathogenic species necessitates the investigation of these species at the genomic level to ...

Using dimension reduction to improve outbreak predictability of multistrain diseases [PDF]
Multistrain diseases have multiple distinct coexisting serotypes (strains). For some diseases, such as dengue fever, the serotypes interact by antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), in which infection with a single serotype is asymptomatic, but contact with a second serotype leads to higher viral load and greater infectivity.

Reduction in respiratory mortality not associated with influenza in Russia: effect of the introduction of pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13), or improvement in care? [PDF]
Background. Pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13) for children (as well as older adults) in Russia was introduced in 2014, with no prior PCV7 use. While pneumonia hospitalization rates, both in children and adults did not decrease in the following years, respiratory mortality rates did decline with time.
