Article Abstract

Background: Members of the genus Circovirus with the family Circoviridae are responsible for fatal diseases that can affect mammals and birds. Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is responsible for fatal diseases that could affect birds, causing the psittacine beak and feather disease. The current study discovered a new Circovirus from feces of laboratory rabbits and name it RabCV, which shows close relationship to BFDVs.

Results: We investigated the feces virome of 10 laboratory rabbits using the viral metagenomic method. In these samples, we detected a new rabbit-associated Circovirus (RabCV) and performed phylogenetic analysis based on replication-associated (Rep) protein. The result showed that the RabCV was closely clustered with BFDVs, sharing the identity of 56.7%-57.2% with them based on the whole genome sequence. PCR screening in a cohort of 38 laboratory rabbits showed that 3 out of the 38 rabbits were positive for this new rabbit-associated Circovirus.

Conclusion: A new Circovirus was discovered from feces of rabbits, which showed low prevalence in the healthy laboratory rabbits. BFDV is responsible for fatal diseases that could affect birds, which suggested that the potential threat of the new rabbit-associated Circovirus to the health of laboratory rabbits needs further study.

Purpose: This systematic review provides a critical evaluation, synthesis of the existing literature on isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.

Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, the review was conducted in August 2024 across various databases. Eligible in vivo studies were analysed for their assessment of isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.

Locked nucleic acid-modified antisense oligonucleotides attenuate scar hyperplasia through targeted inhibition of CTGF.

Front Pharmacol

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology, College of Pharmacy, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is notably upregulated in scar tissue, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Here, we have designed and screened an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that binds specifically to the exon five sequence of CTGF, with particular emphasis on the use of 2'-O-methoxyethyl (MOE) and locked nucleic acid (LNA) modifications to enhance stability and specificity. experiments demonstrated that both MOE-ASO#1 and LNA-ASO#1 significantly inhibited fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix protein expression.

Background: Cardiac issues following radiotherapy are increasingly prevalent among patients with thoracic cancer and coronary disease. However, the mechanisms underlying radiotherapy-induced plaque instability and changes in plaque characteristics on imaging remain unclear. This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify key features of vulnerable plaques following radiotherapy.

Magnetically actuated multimodal bioelectronic catheter for minimally invasive surgery and sensing.

State Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Materials and Technologies, Guangdong Province Key Laboratory of Display Material and Technology, School of Electronics and Information Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.

Small-scale magnetically actuated catheters capable of remote active navigation have promising applications in minimally invasive surgeries. However, existing fabrication techniques hinder their integration with multimodal sensing components, especially since embedding rigid electronic components within the catheters may diminish their flexibility and controllability. Here we report a magnetically actuated bioelectronic catheter with the in situ multiplexed biosensing of multiple types of metabolite or ion simultaneously.
