Article Synopsis
  • Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are a large family of DNA viruses linked to various infections, and the APOBEC3B enzyme can restrict them by causing mutations in their genomes.
  • The study shows that APOBEC3B limits adenovirus replication and is more effective against certain strains, like A12, which is more sensitive compared to B3 or C2 strains.
  • Additionally, adenovirus infections can reduce the activity of APOBEC3B, indicating an evolutionary battle between the virus and the host response, which may have implications for cancer treatment research.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are a large family of DNA viruses that include more than 100 genotypes divided into seven species (A to G) and induce respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, and conjunctivitis. Genetically modified adenoviruses are also used as vaccines, gene therapies, and anticancer treatments. The APOBEC3s are a family of cytidine deaminases that restrict viruses by introducing mutations in their genomes.

We report the case of a 44-year-old patient with severe and disabling apathy nearly 2 years after a right hemisphere haemorrhagic stroke. The effect of a single dose of zolpidem was tested over a 2-week period, in alternation with either no treatment or a placebo in a double-blind randomised trial. Zolpidem was associated with a dramatic improvement in apathy, as assessed with the Apathy Inventory and the Behavioral Dysexecutive Syndrome Inventory.
