Rose virus and virus-like diseases

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1977
Like all vegetatively propagated plants, roses are subject to infection by virus and virus-like diseases that spread during propagating operations. Studies by plant pathologists with the California Department of Food and Agriculture have shown a 14 ...

Analysis of host factor networks during hepatitis B virus infection in primary human hepatocytes

open access: yesVirology Journal
Background Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects around 250 million people worldwide, causing approximately 887,000 deaths annually, primarily owing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Evidence for Oxidative Stress in Experimental Prion Disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2000
Oxidative stress has been shown to be important in several neurodegenerative disorders. Previous in vitro studies have already demonstrated the ability of a prion protein fragment to induce oxidative stress in cultured cells.

Hepatitis C virus NS5A protein promotes the lysosomal degradation of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) via endosomal microautophagy

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2022
Many viruses often use a protein degradation system (e.g., the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway or lysosome pathway) to modulate viral propagation and viral pathogenesis.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Reconstitution of interferon regulatory factor 7 expression restores interferon beta induction in Huh7 cells

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Abundance of essential components of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) recognition and the subsequent interferon (IFN) response vary widely between primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) and commonly used cell culture models based on derivatives of Huh7 cells ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

In silico screening and experimental validation identify riboflavin as an RNA-targeted antiviral against SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesScientific Reports
This study explored drug repurposing strategies against conserved RNA structures in the SARS-CoV-2 genome to address viral mutation challenges. Conserved RNA elements were computationally identified by aligning 283 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Korean patients.

The practitioners guide for dealing with the novel Influenza A, H1n1 pandemic

open access: yesSouth African Family Practice, 2009
Within three months of its discovery, the new Influenza A (H1n1) swineflu strain has spread to such an extent that a pandemic has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although most cases seem to be mild, cases of severe disease have also

A comparative analysis depicting the disease characteristics and phylogenetic signature of human cytomegalovirus infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 seropositive patients with end-organ retinitis and gastro-enteric diseases

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
During advanced HIV infection, Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been proven to produce devitalizing end-organ diseases (EOD). The interactive co-existence of HIV and HCMV has been reported by many researchers and has been suggested to be linked with a ...
