Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) gB dictates a low-pH endocytotic entry pathway as revealed by a dual-fluorescent virus system and a rhesus monkey rhadinovirus expres... by Shanchuan Liu, Sarah Schlagowski, Anna K Großkopf, Natalia Khizanishvili, Xiaoliang Yang, Scott W Wong, Elina M Guzmán, Marija Backovic, Stefano Scribano, Arne Cordsmeier, Armin Ensser, Alexander S Hahn

“…Using the ratio of dual-positive KSHV particles to single-positive capsids as an indicator of fusion events we established KSHV fusion kinetics upon infection of different target cells with marked differences in the "time-to-fusion" between cell types. Inhibition of vesicle acidification prevented KSHV particle-cell fusion, implicating low vesicle pH as a requirement. …”

Sustainability by extraction of bioactive compounds from onion seeds by Mestour, Selma, Meniai, Abdeslam-Hassen, Melloul, Sarra, Louaer, Mehdi

“…To achieve this, the effects of four key operating parameters like pressure, temperature, particle size and CO2 mass flowrate were investigated in ranges of [150, 250 bars], [35, 65 °C], [0.25, 0.85 mm] and [50, 100 g/min], respectively, using a Box-Behnken experimental design, for a constant extraction time of 3 h. This led to optimal operating conditions of 250 bar, 57 °C, 0.25 mm and 50 g CO2/min for the best oil extraction yield value of 24.36%. …”
