The Brisbane-based designer of the world’s smallest orthopaedic screw has invoiced US hospital suppliers $900,000 in the three weeks since the device gained Food & Drug Administration approval, and he hopes it can soon be made in Brisbane too. Field Orthopaedics, founded in 2016 by former Army doctor Chris Jeffery alongside a team of doctors and engineers including hand surgeon Greg ...
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a large enveloped virus of double-stranded DNA among the eight known herpesviruses. After EBV infection of cells, it accumulates in the nucleus, and there are two life cycles, with alternating phases of latency and lysis. EBV infection is associated with a variety of human malignancies and malignant tissue proliferative diseases, including malignant lymphoma, gastric ...

Abstract Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) can cause severe ocular infection and blindness. We have previously shown that the HSV-1 VC2 vaccine strain is protective in mice and guinea pigs against genital herpes infection following vaginal challenge with HSV-1 or HSV-2.

The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...
Drosophila innate immunity is controlled primarily by the activation of IMD (immune deficiency) or Toll signaling leading to the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). IMD signaling also activates the JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) cascade, which is responsible for immune induction of non-antimicrobial peptide immune gene transcription though the transcription factor AP-1. Transcription of the ...
