Article Abstract

Murine norovirus (MNV) is a positive-sense, plus-stranded RNA virus in the Caliciviridae family. Viruses in this family replicate in the intestine and are transmitted by the fecal-oral route. MNV is related to the human noroviruses, which cause the majority of nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Given the technical challenges in studying human norovirus, MNV is often used to study mechanisms in norovirus biology since it combines the availability of a cell culture and reverse genetics system with the ability to study infection in the native host. Adding to our previous protocol collection, here we describe additional techniques that have since been developed to study MNV biology. © 2023 The Authors.

Atherosclerosis remains a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and mortality worldwide, despite advancements in statin therapies. Here, we aimed to identify potential anti-atherosclerosis drugs by an integrated approach combining network medicine-based prediction with empirical validation. Among the top drugs predicted by the preferred algorithm, mesalazine─a drug traditionally used to treat inflammatory bowel disease, was selected for in vivo validation in ApoE mouse model of atherosclerosis.

Background: Rare genetic variation provided by whole genome sequence datasets has been relatively less explored for its contributions to human traits. Meta-analysis of sequencing data offers advantages by integrating larger sample sizes from diverse cohorts, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovering novel insights into complex traits. Furthermore, emerging methods in genome-wide rare variant association testing further improve power and interpretability.

Early prediction of orthodontic gingival enlargement using S100A4: a biomarker-based risk stratification model.

Orthodontic-induced gingival enlargement (OIGE) affects approximately 15-30% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and remains largely unpredictable, often relying on subjective clinical assessments made after irreversible tissue changes have occurred. S100A4 is a well-characterized marker of activated fibroblasts involved in pathological tissue remodeling. This was a cross-sectional precision biomarker study that analyzed gingival tissue samples from three groups: healthy controls (n = 60), orthodontic patients without gingival enlargement (n = 31), and patients with clinically diagnosed OIGE (n = 61).

Sensory areas exhibit modular selectivity to stimuli, but they can also respond to features outside of their basic modality. Several studies have shown cross-modal plastic modifications between visual and auditory cortices; however, the exact mechanisms of these modifications are yet not completely known. To this aim, we investigated the effect of 12 min of visual versus sound adaptation (referring to forceful application of an optimal/nonoptimal stimulus to a neuron[s] under observation) on the infragranular and supragranular primary visual neurons (V1) of the cat (Felis catus).

ConspectusMolecular photochemistry, by harnessing the excited states of organic molecules, provides a platform fundamentally distinct from thermochemistry for generating reactive open-shell or spin-active species under mild conditions. Among its diverse applications, the resurgence of the Minisci-type reaction, a transformation historically reliant on thermally initiated radical conditions, has been fueled by modern photochemical strategies with improved efficiency and selectivity. Consequently, the photochemical Minisci-type reaction ranks among the most enabling methods for C()-H functionalizations of heteroarenes, which are of particular significance in medicinal chemistry for the rapid diversification of bioactive scaffolds.
