Expression of heterologous proteins flanked by NS3-4A cleavage sites within the hepatitis C virus polyprotein

TL;DR: This work shows that HCV genotypes 2a and 1b permit insertion of reporter proteins between NS5A and NS5B with minimal impact on viral fitness, and constructed reporter genomes exhibiting a wide dynamic range, simplifying analysis of HCV infection in primary hepatocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Background Checks for all Gun Buyers and Gun Violence Restraining Orders: State Efforts to Keep Guns from High-Risk Persons:

TL;DR: State-level approaches to make it more difficult for high-risk persons to purchase or possess firearms include universal background check (UBC) and gun violence restraining order (GVRO) laws.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding the host range of hepatitis C virus through viral adaptation

TL;DR: Proof of concept that the barriers limiting HCV species tropism can be overcome by viral adaptation is established, however, additional viral adaptations will likely be needed to increase the robustness of a murine model system for hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving the use of evidence in public health policy development, enactment and implementation: a multiple-case study.

TL;DR: A qualitative and exploratory multiple-case study of three U.S. academic research-policy translation initiatives that resulted in the development, enactment and/or implementation of evidence-based policies to address public health issues suggests concrete and actionable academicResearch-policy strategies that have the potential for widespread adoption by universities or other organizations.
