INHIBITION OF NIPAH VIRUS INFECTION IN VIVO: TARGETING AN EARLY STAGE OF PARAMYXOVIRUS FUSION ACTIVATION DURING VIRAL ENTRY.

In the paramyxovirus cell entry process, receptor binding triggers conformational changes in the fusion protein (F) leading to viral and cellular membrane fusion. Peptides derived from C-terminal heptad repeat (HRC) regions in F have been shown to inhibit fusion by... Read More

HUMAN β-DEFENSIN EXPRESSION IN A NEW BUCCAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODEL.

Oral epithelia function as microbial barriers against bacteria and yeast that are resident in the oral cavity. These microbes can be categorized as non-pathogenic (commensal) and pathogenic (resulting in cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, etc.). The epithelium is actively involved... Read More

GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED IL-10-SECRETING KERATINOCYTES CONDITION LANGERHANS CELLS TOWARDS A TOLERAGENIC PHENOTYPE.

This study by researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook demonstrated that MatTek’s Human Dendritic (Langerhans) Cells can be used to determine the influence of epithelial cells and cytokines on Langerhans cell activation and phenotype in... Read More
