Activins and Follistatin in Chronic Hepatitis C and Its Treatment with Pegylated-Interferon-α Based Therapy by Bassem Refaat, Ahmed Mohamed Ashshi, Adel Galal El-Shemi, Esam Azhar

“…Pegylated-interferon-α based therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is considered suboptimal as not all patients respond to the treatment and it is associated with several side effects that could lead to dose reduction and/or termination of therapy. The currently used markers to monitor the response to treatment are based on viral kinetics and their performance in the prediction of treatment outcome is moderate and does not combine accuracy and their values have several limitations. …”

A conserved class of viral RNA structures regulates translation reinitiation through dynamic ribosome interactions by Madeline E. Sherlock, Conner J. Langeberg, Katherine E. Segar, Jeffrey S. Kieft

“…Summary: Certain viral RNAs encode proteins downstream of their main open reading frame, expressed through “termination-reinitiation” events. In some cases, structures located upstream of the first stop codon within these viral RNAs bind the ribosome, inhibiting ribosome recycling and inducing reinitiation. …”

Femtosecond laser induced ultrafast interface dynamics between single layer graphene and quartz substrate: A theoretical study by Runping Zhao, Xia Wang, Lei Wang

“…In this work, a real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) method was adopted to study the femtosecond laser induced ultrafast structure evolution and the underlying dynamics mechanism of the interface between a single layer graphene and a Si-terminated quartz substrate. This work indicates that rt-TDDFT is a promising method to study the strong electron dynamics and the coupled nuclear dynamics for graphene-SiO2 interfaces under ultrafast optical excitation, which benefits graphene device designs and mechanism analysis.…”
