Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two gH/gL glycoprotein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/pUL(128,130,131A), which determine the tropism, the entry pathways and the mode of spread of the virus.For murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), which serves as a model for HCMV, a gH/gL/gO complex functionally homologous to the HCMV gH/gL/gO complex has been described
Basal Stem Rot (BSR), a disease caused by Ganoderma boninense (G.boninense), has posed a significant concern for the oil palm industry, particularly in Southeast Asia, as it has the potential to cause substantial economic losses.The breeding programme is currently searching for G.boninense-resistant planting materials, which has necessitated intens
Chronic hepatitis B viral infection (HBV) afflicts around 250 million individuals globally and few options for treatment exist.Once infected, the virus entrenches itself in the liver with a notoriously resilient colonisation of viral DNA (covalently-closed circular DNA, cccDNA).The majority of infections are cleared, yet we do not understand why 5%
In France, in the peri-urban context, urban sprawl dynamics are particularly strong with huge population growth as well as a land crisis.The increase and spreading of built-up areas from the city centre towards the periphery takes place to the detriment of natural and agricultural spaces.The conversion of land with agricultural potential is all the
Human and animal immune functions present sex dimorphism that seems to be mainly regulated by sex hormones.In the present study, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured in intraperitoneal resident macrophages from adult male and female rats.In addi
