Influenza A Virus Entry: Implications in Virulence and Future Therapeutics by Emily Rumschlag-Booms, Lijun Rong

“…This broad tropism makes highly pathogenic influenza A strains, such as H5N1, potentially dangerous to humans if they gain the ability to jump from an animal reservoir to humans. How influenza A viruses are able to jump the species barrier is incompletely understood due to the complex genetic nature of the viral surface glycoprotein, hemagglutinin, which mediates entry, combined with the virus's ability to use various receptor linkages. …”

Association of p53 with Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease by Qiang Luo, Wei Sun, Yi-Fan Wang, Ji Li, Da-Wei Li

“…Recent studies have revealed that p53 levels and activity are substantially increased in affected neurons in cellular and animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) as well as in the brains of PD patients. p53 activation in response to neurodegenerative stress is closely associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, abnormal protein aggregation, and impairment of autophagy, and these pathogenic events have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. …”
