Journal ArticleDOI

Biology of Zika Virus Infection in Human Skin Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that human dermal fibroblasts, epidermal keratinocytes, and immature dendritic cells are permissive to the most recent ZikV isolate, responsible for the epidemic in French Polynesia, and a major role is shown for the phosphatidylserine receptor AXL as a ZIKV entry receptor and for cellular autophagy in enhancing ZIKv replication in permissive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin-IGF2 region on chromosome 11p encodes a gene implicated in HLA-DR4-dependent diabetes susceptibility

TL;DR: The results strongly support the existence of a gene or genes affecting HLA-DR4 IDDM susceptibility which is located in a 19-kilobase region of INS-IGF2, and suggest new ways to map susceptibility loci in other common diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication cycle of chikungunya: A re-emerging arbovirus

TL;DR: This paper summarizes the current knowledge of CHIKV genomic organization, cell tropism, and the virus replication cycle, and evaluates the possibility to predict its future evolution, in order to anticipate future epidemics and reduce the incidence by development and application of vaccination and antiviral therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive genetic polymorphism in the human tumor necrosis factor region and relation to extended HLA haplotypes.

TL;DR: Three polymorphic microsatellites within a 12-kilobase region of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that includes the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus will allow a thorough genetic analysis of the involvement of TNF in MHC-linked pathologies.
