Thermo-Efficient Strains of Variola Major Virus
Thermo-efficient and thermo-sensitive mutants of pox viruses are obtained, without the aid of mutagens, only with difficulty. Kirn and his colleagues (1, 2) have described both a thermo-sensitive and a thermo-efficient mutant of vaccinia virus. This note reports the derivation and properties of two thermo-efficient strains of variola major virus.

Current Progress in Targeting Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
This review highlights recent advances in the mechanisms by which human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) maintains its genome in infected cells, as well as the cellular factors and viral antigens that modulate viral reactivation, which reveal potential targets for addressing HCMV infection.

4P Dermatology: A Shift to a Comprehensive Patient‐Centered Model
ABSTRACT Advances in dermatology are embracing a patient‐centered, proactive approach through the ‘4P model’: Personalized, Predictive, Preventive, and Participatory care. This shift aims to improve treatment efficacy and safety as well as patient's quality of life. This review explores the applications of ‘4P medicine’ in dermatology, highlighting key

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Mathematical modelling plays an important role in public health by enabling the prediction of disease outbreaks, assessment of transmission dynamics and evaluation of intervention strategies. Although widely applied in high‐resource settings, its use in underserved contexts remains underexplored. This review aimed to examine

Strategies for the Modification of Vaccinia Virus towards a Better Vaccine Vector
Vaccinia virus (VACV) confers cross-protective immunity against variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and has therefore been extensively exploited as a preventive vaccine.

Bioactive Polysulfate‐Based Nano‐Assemblies Against Virus Infection
Nano‐assemblies with a defined brush‐like corona are developed from sulfated polyglycerol to inhibit virus infection. The sulfate residues on the surface can actively bind the virus and entrap it from entering the host cells. This nanosystem is demonstrated potent inhibition against both HSV‐1 and SARs‐CoV‐2.

Variola virus E3L Zα domain, but not its Z-DNA binding activity, is required for PKR inhibition
Diverse genetic and biochemical assays are used to conclude that the Z-DNA/RNA binding domain of the vaccinia E3L protein contributes to the interdiction of PKR activity, but that this function is not affected by mutations that disrupt Z-DNA binding.
