Recombinant expression systems for production of stabilised virus-like particles as next-generation polio vaccines by Sherry, L, Bahar, MW, Porta, C, Fox, H, Grehan, K, Nasta, V, Duyvesteyn, HME, De Colibus, L, Marsian, J, Murdoch, I, Ponndorf, D, Kim, S, Shah, S, Carlyle, S, Swanson, JJ, Matthews, S, Nicol, C, Lomonossoff, GP, Macadam, AJ, Fry, EE, Stuart, DI, Stonehouse, NJ, Rowlands, DJ

“…Continued use of these vaccines, however, threatens ultimate disease eradication and achievement of a polio-free world. Virus-like particles (VLPs) that lack a viral genome represent a safer potential vaccine, although they require particle stabilization. …”

Effects of "Thursdays at the Museum" at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on the mental and physical health of older community dwellers : the art-health randomized clinical trial protocol by Beauchet, Olivier, Cooper-Brown, Liam, Hayashi, Yoko, Galery, Kevin, Vilcocq, Christine, Bastien, Thomas

“…Background: Recently, we demonstrated that the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ (MMFA) participatory art-based activity, known as “Thursdays at the Museum,” improved the well-being, quality of life, and physical health (i.e., frailty) of older community dwellers by using a pre-post intervention, single arm, prospective and longitudinal experimental design. …”

Toward a crystal-clear view of the viral RNA sensing and response by RIG-I-like receptors by Luo, Dahai

“…The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs)—RIG-I, MDA5, and LGP2—detect intracellular pathogenic RNA and elicit an antiviral immune response during viral infection. …”

Persistent elevation of intrathecal pro-inflammatory cytokines leads to multiple sclerosis-like cortical demyelination and neurodegeneration by James, Rachel E., Schalks, Renee, Browne, Eleanor, Eleftheriadou, Ioanna, Munoz, Carmen Picon, Mazarakis, Nicholas D., Reynolds, Richard

“…Here we tested the hypothesis that persistent production of these cytokines in the meningeal compartment and diffusion into underlying GM can drive chronic MS-like GM pathology. Lentiviral transfer vectors were injected into the sagittal sulcus of DA rats to deliver continuous expression of TNF + IFNγ transgenes in the meninges and the resulting neuropathology analysed after 1 and 2 months. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…We conclude that climate change makes a strong case for studying elephant behaviours in response to environmental cues during the day and night, especially in dry-land study sites like Northern Kenya.…”

GOLDEN2-like1 is sufficient but not necessary for chloroplast biogenesis in mesophyll cells of C4 grasses by Lambret-Frotte, J, Smith, G, Langdale, J

“…In land plants, chloroplast biogenesis is regulated by a family of transcription factors named GOLDEN2-like (GLK). In C4 grasses, it has been hypothesized that genome duplication events led to the sub-functionalization of GLK paralogs (GLK1 and GLK2) to control chloroplast biogenesis in two distinct cell types: mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. …”
