Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 603: Viral Threats to Fruit and Vegetable Crops in the Caribbean
Lisa Myers Morgan
Viruses pose major global challenges to crop production as infections reduce the yield and quality of harvested products, hinder germplasm exchange, increase financial inputs, and threaten food security. Small island or archipelago habitat conditions such as those in the Caribbean are particularly susceptible as the region is characterized by high rainfall and uniform, warm temperatures throughout the year. Moreover, Caribbean islands are continuously exposed to disease risks because of their location at the intersection of transcontinental trade between North and South America and their role as cen...

Molecular and pathophysiological relationship between obesity and chronic inflammation in the manifestation of metabolic dysfunctions and their inflammation ‑mediating treatment options (Review)
Mol Med Rep. 2024 Jun;29(6):95. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13219. Epub 2024 Apr 12.ABSTRACTObesity reaches up to epidemic proportions globally and increases the risk for a wide spectrum of co‑morbidities, including type‑2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease, kidney diseases, respiratory disorders, sleep apnea, musculoskeletal disorders and osteoarthritis, subfertility, psychosocial problems and certain types of cancers. The underlying inflammatory mechanisms interconnecting obesity with metabolic dysfunction are not completely understood. Increas...

New and emerging treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis
Cell Metab. 2024 Apr 7:S1550-4131(24)00090-1. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2024.03.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a leading etiology of chronic liver disease worldwide, with increasing incidence and prevalence in the setting of the obesity epidemic. MASH is also a leading indication for liver transplantation, given its associated risk of progression to end-stage liver disease. A key challenge in managing MASH is the lack of approved pharmacotherapy. In its absence, lifestyle interventions with a focus on healthy nutrition and regular physical activity have been the corn...

Gut Microbiota: A Potential Player in Psychiatric Symptoms during COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Gut microbiota plays a significant role in psychiatric symptoms during COVID-19, which has significant implications for the study and prevention of psychiatric symptoms in major epidemic diseases.PMID:38607962 | DOI:10.1080/15622975.2024.2342846 (Source: The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry)

Strong evolutionary constraints against amino acid changes in the P2 subdomain of sapovirus GI.1 capsid protein VP1
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2024 Apr 2;710:149878. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149878. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSapovirus (SaV) is a nonenveloped RNA virus that causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Although SaV is a clinically important pathogen in children, an effective vaccine is currently unavailable. The capsid protein VP1 of SaVs forms the outer shell of the virion and is highly diverse, as often seen in the virion-surface proteins of RNA viruses, creating an obstacle for vaccine development. We here report a unique phenomenon pertaining to the variation of SaV VP1. Phylogenetic and information entropy analyses u...
