Journal ArticleDOI
Role of transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail amino acid sequences of influenza a virus neuraminidase in raft association and virus budding.
TL;DR: Although the sequences of NA CT and TMD per se are not absolutely essential for the virus life cycle, specific amino acid sequences play a critical role in providing structural stability, enzyme activity, and lipid raft association of NA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Novel Coronavirus and COVID-19: whether to stay or die out?

TL;DR: Continuous monitoring is strongly advisable, not only to the newly infected individuals, but also to those recovered individuals who were infected by SARS-CoV-2 as re-infection may lead to the selection of escape mutants and subsequent dissemination to the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of ferromagnetism and defect-magnetization correlation in nanocrystalline ZnO
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that defects govern the room temperature magnetic property of nanocrystalline ZnO, which exhibits a paramagnetic behavior at room temperature but becomes ferromagnetic once oxygen defects are introduced in it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the influenza A H5N1 viruses of the 2008-09 outbreaks in India reveals a third introduction and possible endemicity.

TL;DR: Overall, the study is indicative of a possible endemicity in the eastern and northeastern parts of the country, demanding active surveillance specifically in view of the critical mutations that have been observed in the influenza A H5N1 viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
An insight into the PB1F2 protein and its multifunctional role in enhancing the pathogenicity of the influenza A viruses.
TL;DR: A review of the reports since the discovery of PB1F2 suggests a multifunctional role for this protein that includes a proapoptotic function in immune cells and an ability to cause increased pathogenesis in animal models by dysregulating cytokines and inducing inflammation.
