HIV-1 requires capsid remodelling at the nuclear pore for nuclear entry and integration.

The capsid (CA) lattice of the HIV-1 core plays a key role during infection. From the moment the core is released into the cytoplasm, it interacts with a range of cellular factors that, ultimately, direct the pre-integration complex to the integration site. For integration to occur, the CA lattice must disassemble.

Admission ultrasonography as a predictive tool for thrombocytopenia and disease severity in dengue infection.

Background: Ultrasound (US) is an investigation available in many acute care settings. Thrombocytopenia is a well-described complication of dengue infection and has been shown to correlate with disease severity. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of admission ultrasonography in predicting thrombocytopenia and disease severity in patients infected with dengue virus.

Genome Sequence of Human Herpesvirus 7 Strain UCL-1.

The sequence of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) strain UCL-1 was determined using target enrichment and next-generation sequencing methods. We have identified 86 putative open reading frames (ORFs), and comparative sequence analyses demonstrate that this strain is closely related to the previously sequenced HHV-7 strains RK and JI.
