Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...

Virus adaptation to heparan sulfate comes with capsid stability tradeoff
Because of high mutation rates, viruses constantly adapt to new environments. When propagated in cell lines, certain viruses acquire positively charged amino acids on their surface proteins, enabling them to utilize negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS)

How Viruses Use the VCP/p97 ATPase Molecular Machine
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that are dependent on host factors for their replication. One such host protein, p97 or the valosin-containing protein (VCP), is a highly conserved AAA ATPase that facilitates replication of diverse RNA- and ...

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications
Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...

HIV Capsid Inhibitors Beyond PF74
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) capsid plays important roles at multiple stages of viral replication. At the initial stages, controlled uncoating (disassembly) of the capsid ensures efficient reverse transcription of the single-stranded RNA genome ...

Infectivity and Uncoating of Adenovirus Cores
A temperature-sensitive mutant of adenovirus type 2 grown at 39 degrees (tsl-39 degrees) produces noninfectious physical particles. DNA and core structures derived from such virion particles, however, were found to be infectious at the permissive temperature.

Toward a Functional Cure for Chronic Hepatitis B: Current Landscape and Future Directions in Japan
Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection that can become chronic, increasing the risk of developing liver cancer and liver failure. Because current treatments rarely cure these problems, researchers are now focusing on a functional cure in which the virus becomes undetectable in blood and stays that way, even after the treatment ends.

The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System Facilitates Membrane Fusion and Uncoating during Coronavirus Entry
Although the involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in several coronavirus-productive infections has been reported, whether the UPS is required for infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infections is ...

The delivery of the HIV-1 genome into the nucleus is an indispensable step in retroviral infection of non-dividing cells, but the mechanism of HIV-1 nuclear import has been a longstanding debate due to controversial experimental evidence. It was commonly
