A high-throughput DNA analysis method based on isothermal amplification on a suspension microarray for detecting mpox virus and viruses with comparable symptoms
In this study, we combined suspension microarray technology with recombinase-aided amplification technology (RAA) to establish a high-throughput, sensitive, and quantitative method for detecting MPXV and other viruses that can cause similar symptoms. The experimental results confirmed that the technique has outstanding sensitivity, with a minimum detection limit (LOD) of 0.1 fM and a linear range of 0.3 fM to 20 pM, spanning five orders of magnitude. The approach also exhibits exquisite selectivity, as the amplified signal can only be detected when the target virus nucleic acid is present. Additionally, serum recoveries ra...

The Chinese herbal prescription JZ-1 promotes extracellular vesicle production and protects against herpes simplex virus type 2 infection in vitro
CONCLUSION: JZ-1 had an anti-HSV-2 efficacy. After JZ-1 stimulation, VK2/E6E7 cells secreted extracellular vesicles which protect host cells from HSV-2 infection. High-throughput sequencing showed that these extracellular vesicles contained a large number of miRNAs targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. JZ-1 group extracellular vesicles could inhibit the activation of AKT/mTOR pathway and induce the host cells autophagy.PMID:38495169 | PMC:PMC10940933 | DOI:10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27019 (Source: Herpes)

GSE254432 CCR2 and CCR7 promote inflammatory monocyte recruitment through synergistic roles during encephalitic virus infection, but the monocyte response in the brain is dependent on the infecting virus
Contributors : Clayton W Winkler ; Alyssa B Evans ; Aaron B Carmody ; Justin B Lack ; Tyson A Woods ; Karin E PetersonSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusInflammatory monocytes (iMO) migrate from the bone marrow to the brain during viral encephalitis. For many viruses, including Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV), iMO recruitment is dependent on the chemokine receptor CCR2. However, La Crosse virus (LACV) induces iMO recruitment independent of CCR2. Comparison of iMOs from HSV and LACV-infected mice showed higher expression of the g protein-coupled receptor CCR7 in LACV-ind...

Movement disorders associated with pediatric encephalitis
Handb Clin Neurol. 2024;200:229-238. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-823912-4.00018-9.ABSTRACTNew onset movement disorders are a common clinical problem in pediatric neurology and can be infectious, inflammatory, metabolic, or functional in origin. Encephalitis is one of the more important causes of new onset movement disorders, and movement disorders are a common feature (~25%) of all encephalitis. However, all encephalitides are not the same, and movement disorders are a key diagnostic feature that can help the clinician identify the etiology of the encephalitis, and therefore appropriate treatment is required. Movement disorders...
