However, groundbreaking advancements in vaccine development promise not ...
The recent COVID-19 pandemic again highlighted the urgent need for broad-spectrum antivirals, both for therapeutic use in acute viral infection and for pandemic preparedness in general. The targeting of host cell factors hijacked by viruses during their replication cycle presents one possible strategy for development of broad-spectrum antivirals. By inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, ...
In many cases, gene therapy requires a vector to deliver the gene therapy drug to the target cell. Viral vectors have been one of the most widely studied vectors due to their outstanding transduction efficiency and other significant advantages. Viral vector-based gene therapy has now achieved good clinical results. More than a dozen viral gene therapy products have been approved for the treatment ...
Newcastle disease is a highly infectious viral disease of the avian species. The causative agent is Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which belongs to the family of Paramyxoviridae. Many commercial vaccines, both live and inactivated, are available on the market and protect from NDV infection and disease. In addition, viral vectors based on Newcastle disease virus have been previously ...

A research team's latest study shows that two human antibodies can simultaneously target two Ebola viruses: Ebola and Sudan. These two species have caused the largest and deadliest outbreaks. The new report suggests that researchers could combine these two potent antibodies to create an effective antiviral therapy. The work is published in Cell in the paper, “Asymmetric and ...
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious and common psychiatric disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1-3% in adults. The onset of OCD has a bimodal age distribution, usually manifesting first in late childhood and early adolescence and later appearing in early adulthood. OCD is a multifactorial disorder with an interplay of biological, psychological, and external factors, and ...

Clinical studies have documented numerous effective benefits and support for people facing a variety of health challenges, including: a) Asthma b) Atherosclerosis c) Autoimmune disease d) Bronchitis e) Cancer f) ...
COVID-19 has affected many sectors, including construction. The experience provided an opportunity for us to look at construction quality management and how organizations can cope with social distance and the threat of a virus – not to mention the losses in capacity and operations resulting from them. By implementing better collaboration and innovation, the sector can recover from the ...
As a kind of enzymes for diagnostic use. Serum amylase (AMS) is the main type of amylase in serum. It belongs to glycoside chain hydrolase, which is mainly derived from the pancreas. In addition, there are also a small amount of secretion in the proximal duodenum, lung, uterus, and breast during lactation. Amylase plays an important role in the digestion of polysaccharide compounds in food. The ...
Sun Tzu once said, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” This is the philosophy you should take into the battle against viruses and bacteria. If you know the difference between virus and bacteria, and how to best take on each, you can never lose. The COVID-19 pandemic has left everyone with a newfound passion for eliminating ...

Cause of the Disease Infectious pancreatic necrosis (also known as Acute catarrhal enteritis) is one of the first described and most extensively studied diseases of fish. There are strains and substrains of IPN virus that can be differentiated by serological, biochemical and genetic means. The VR-299 (type 1) strain was originally isolated in North America and has since been found almost ...
Abstract Background Although herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are a major target for vaccine development no vaccine is currently licensed. Methods A live attenuated HSV virus vaccine, VC2 was compared to a subunit HSV vaccine, glycoprotein D (gD2) administered with the adjuvant, MPL/Alum using the guinea pig model of genital herpes. Three doses of intramuscular (IM) vaccine were provided followed by ...
Received for publication April 11, 2008. During outbreaks of infectious animal diseases, composting may be an effective method of disposing of mortalities and potentially contaminated manure. Duplicate biosecure structures containing 16 cattle (Bos taurus) mortalities (343 kg average weight) were constructed with carcasses placed on a 40-cm straw layer and overlaid with 160 cm of feedlot manure. ...
