Interaction and Antiviral Treatment of Coinfection between SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza in Vitro
CONCLUSIONS: In coinfection, the replication of SARS-CoV-2 would be interfered by influenza H1N1. Compared with molnupiravir or baloxavir monotherapy, treatment with a combination of molnupiravir and baloxavir should be considered for early treatment in patients with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza coinfection.PMID:38621598 | DOI:10.1016/j.virusres.2024.199371 (Source: Cell Research)

RANKL signaling drives skeletal muscle into the oxidative profile
J Bone Miner Res. 2024 Apr 15:zjae058. doi: 10.1093/jbmr/zjae058. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe bone-muscle unit refers to the reciprocal regulation between bone and muscle by mechanical interaction and tissue communication via soluble factors. The receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) stimulation induces mitochondrial biogenesis and increases the oxidative capacity in osteoclasts and adipocytes. RANKL may bind to the membrane bound receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) or to osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor that inhibits RANK-RANKL activation. RANK is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, but the contributio...

Auriculocondylar syndrome 2 caused by a novel PLCB4 variant in a male Chinese neonate: A case report and review of the literature
CONCLUSION: As with other studies examining familial cases of ARCND2, incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity were observed within different families' heterozygous mutations in PLCB4 gene. Although, motor and intellectual development are in the normal range in the vast majority of patients with ARCND2, long-term follow-up and assessment are still required.PMID:38618928 | PMC:PMC11017300 | DOI:10.1002/mgg3.2441 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Apr;74(4). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006340.ABSTRACTA Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, and slightly halophilic alphaproteobacterium, designated strain EGI FJ00035T, was isolated from enrichment sediment samples of a saline lake in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, PR China. The taxonomic position of the isolate was determined using the polyphasic taxonomic and phylogenomic analyses. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain EGI FJ00035T formed a distinct clade with 'Chelativorans alearense' UJN715 and 'Chelativorans xinjiangense' lm93 with sequence similarit...
