Cytoplasmic Dynein Promotes HIV-1 Uncoating

Retroviral capsid (CA) cores undergo uncoating during their retrograde transport (toward the nucleus), and/or after reaching the nuclear membrane.However, whether HIV-1 CA core uncoating is dependent upon its transport is not understood.There is some evidence that HIV-1 cores retrograde transport involves cytoplasmic dynein complexes translocating

Influenza vaccination for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: understanding immunogenicity, efficacy and effectiveness

Influenza infection is an important 9002nc cause of global mortality and morbidity with the greatest impact on older people and those with chronic disease.Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are particularly vulnerable to influenza, with evidence for increased incidence and severity of infection.In this patient group influenz

Characterization of pellicle inhibition in Gluconacetobacter xylinus 53582 by a small molecule, pellicin, identified by a chemical genetics screen.

Pellicin ([2E]-3-phenyl-1-[2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,6-benzodioxocin-8-yl]prop-2-en-1-one) was identified in a chemical genetics screen of 10,000 small molecules for its ability to completely abolish pellicle production in Gluconacetobacter xylinus.Cells grown in the presence of pellicin grew 1.5 times faster than untreated cells.Interestingly, growth i

Do major roads reduce gene flow in urban bird populations?

Although the negative effects of roads on the genetics of animal populations have been extensively reported, the question of whether roads reduce gene flow in volant, urban bird populations has so far not been addressed.In this study, we assess whether highways decreased 20wm01snus gene flow and genetic variation in a small passerine bird, the tree
