Gammaherpesviral gene expression and virion composition are broadly controlled by accelerated mRNA degradation.

Lytic gammaherpesvirus infection restricts host gene expression by promoting widespread degradation of cytoplasmic mRNA through the activity of the viral endonuclease SOX.Though generally assumed to be selective for cellular transcripts, the extent to which SOX impacts viral mRNA stability has remained unknown.We addressed this issue using the mode

Association between Fibrinogen-to-Albumin Ratio and Prognosis of Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Although the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (F/R ratio) has been used as an inflammation marker to predict clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases, its association with the prognosis of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unclear.Electronic databases including EMBASE, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Libra

Microfluidic Synthesis of Vinblastine-Loaded Multifunctional Particles for Magnetically Responsive Controlled Drug Release

Vinblastine (VBL) is a major chemotherapeutic drug; however, in some cases, it may cause severe side effects in patients with cancer.Designing a novel VBL pharmaceutical formulation is a crucial and emerging concern among researchers for reducing the use of VBL.This study developed a stimuli-responsive controlled VBL drug release system from magnet
