Mar 2nd, 2023 - COVID19 associated headaches are highly common and there is currently an unmet need to better understand their association with SARSCoV2 variants. Headaches are a prevalent symptom in the acute phase of COVID19 and are associated with a better prognosis and better immune response. They are also a relevant post-COVID symptom. This article analyses the differences in the prevalence of headache as...

Mar 1st, 2023 - Attempts have been made to enhance treatment with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) for osteosarcoma. We have previously shown that VSV incorporated with miRNA143 enhanced the antitumor effect at some doses; however, the range of the doses was narrow. This has not been evaluated in vivo, and the synergistic effect of this antitumor effect in animals is unknown. The purpose of the study was to ev...

Feb 15th, 2023 - The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases contains more than ten isozymes that are involved in multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation and carcinogenesis. The PKCε isozyme is an oncogene known to be upregulated in various signaling pathways involved in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no known association ...

Feb 10th, 2023 - Antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) target multiple epitopes on different domains of the spike protein, and other SARS-CoV-2 proteins. We developed a SARS-CoV-2 multi-antigen protein microarray with the nucleocapsid, spike and its domains (S1, S2), and variants with single (D614G, E484K, N501Y) or double substitutions (N501Y/Deletion69/70), allowing a...

Feb 7th, 2023 - Hypercoagulability and thrombo-inflammation are the main reasons for death in COVID-19 patients. It is unclear whether there is a difference between D-dimer levels in patients without or with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrails.gov databases looking for studies reporting D-dimer levels in patients without or with COVID-19 ARDS. Sec...

Feb 7th, 2023 - Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) box helicase 3 X-linked (DDX3X) plays important regulatory roles in the replication of many viruses. However, the role of DDX3X in rhabdovirus replication has seldomly been investigated. In this study, snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV), a kind of fish rhabdovirus, was used to study the role of DDX3X in rhabdovirus replication. DDX3X was identified as an interacting partner o...

Feb 2nd, 2023 - The SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase coordinates viral RNA synthesis as part of an assembly known as the replication-transcription complex (RTC)1. Accordingly, the RTC is a target for clinically approved antiviral nucleoside analogues, including remdesivir2. Faithful synthesis of viral RNAs by the RTC requires recognition of the correct nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) for incorporation int...

Feb 2nd, 2023 - Understanding the molecular basis of innate immune evasion by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an important consideration for designing the next wave of therapeutics. Here, we investigate the role of the nonstructural protein 16 (NSP16) of SARS-CoV-2 in infection and pathogenesis. NSP16, a ribonucleoside 2'-O-methyltransferase (MTase), catalyzes the transfer of a ...

Feb 1st, 2023 - Coinfection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been detected in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Although HPV and EBV replicate in differentiated epithelial cells, we previously reported that HPV epithelial immortalization reduces EBV replication within organotypic raft culture and that the HPV16 oncoprotein E7 was sufficient to inhibit EBV replication. A well-...

They are being investigated as a potential therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This review was previously part of a parent review addressing convalescent plasma and hIVIG for people with COVID...

Jan 27th, 2023 - A 26-year-old man in Australia who has sex with men had severe perianal ulceration, proctitis, and skin lesions develop. Testing revealed primary syphilis, mpox, and primary HIV infection. Recent publications have documented severe mpox associated with HIV infection. Disruption of mucosal integrity by mpox lesions could enable HIV transmission and vice versa.
