Dynamics of Virus-Receptor Interactions in Virus Binding, Signaling, and Endocytosis

Viruses, 2015
During viral infection the first challenge that viruses have to overcome is gaining access to the intracellular compartment. The infection process starts when the virus contacts the surface of the host cell.

Tenth International Foamy Virus Conference 2014–Achievements and Perspectives [PDF]

Viruses, 2015
For the past two decades, scientists from around the world, working on different aspects of foamy virus (FV) research, have gathered in different research institutions almost every two years to present their recent results in formal talks, to discuss their ongoing studies informally, and to initiate fruitful collaborations. In this report we review the

Methods for Studying Endocytotic Pathways of Herpesvirus Encoded G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Molecules, 2020
Endocytosis is a fundamental process involved in trafficking of various extracellular and transmembrane molecules from the cell surface to its interior. This enables cells to communicate and respond to external environments, maintain cellular homeostasis,

Kinetic Landscape of Single Virus-like Particles Highlights the Efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 Internalization

Viruses
The efficiency of virus internalization into target cells is a major determinant of infectivity. SARS-CoV-2 internalization occurs via S-protein-mediated cell binding followed either by direct fusion with the plasma membrane or endocytosis and subsequent

Coronavirus lockdown and virus suppression: An international analysis

Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2021
This paper analyses the effect of lockdown against the coronavirus which is one of the fastest growing threats in the world. We focus on three categories of lockdown and group four continents, Asia, America, Europe, and Africa together to assess the effectiveness of such a measure to contain the virus.
