Characterization of the complete genome sequence of the recombinant norovirus GII.P16/GII.4_Sydney_2012 revealed in Russia by E. V. Zhirakovskaia, A. Y. Tikunov, S. N. Sokolov, B. I. Kravchuk, E. I. Krasnova, N. V. Tikunova

“…A functional significance of these changes suggests that a wide distribution of the strains with the novel GII.P16 polymerase may be associated both with several amino acid substitutions in the polymerase active center and with the insertion of glutamic acid or glycine in an N-terminal p48 protein that blocks the secretory immunity of intestinal epithelial cells. Further monitoring of genotypes will allow determining the distribution of norovirus recombinants with the polymerase GII.P16 in Russia.…”

Préférence manuelle chez les gibbons by Luca Morino, Makiko Uchikoshi, Fred Bercovitch, William D Hopkins, Tetsuro Matsuzawa

“…Un des problèmes est le manque de données chez certaines espèces-clés comme notamment au sein des hylobatidés, alors que ce taxon est particulièrement intéressant dans ce contexte : 1. ils sont très proches de l’homme et partagent un répertoire vocal complexe, ils pourraient donc partager certaines voies neurologiques pour leur vocalisation complexe ; 2. leur adaptation à l’arboricolie s’associe à des contraintes posturales uniques ; 3. il y a peu de données sur leur latéralité, et celles-ci sont contradictoires. Pour essayer de clarifier la situation, nous avons testé la préférence manuelle de 22 siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus) et 20 gibbons (8 Hylobates lar, 4 H. agilis, 4 H. muelleri, 3 H. pileatus, 1 Nomascus leucogenys), vivant en captivité au Japon. …”

Localized Drug Delivery in Different Gastrointestinal Cancers: Navigating Challenges and Advancing Nanotechnological Solutions by Hasan AM, Cavalu S, Kira AY, Hamad RS, Abdel-Reheim MA, Elmorsy EA, El-kott AF, Morsy K, AlSheri AS, Negm S, Saber S

“…However, the localized delivery via oral administration faces many challenges related to the complex structure of GIT (varied pH levels and transit times) as well as the harsh environment within tumor cells (hypoxia, efflux pumps, and acidity). To overcome these obstacles, nano-drug delivery systems (NDDs) have been designed and proved their potential by exploiting these challenges in favor of offering a specific delivery to the desired target. …”
