Gene therapy vectors and vaccines based on non-segmented negatives stranded rna viruses

TL;DR: In this article, a method for recovering wildtype or engineered negative stranded, non-segmented RNA virus genomes containing non-coding 3' and 5' regions (e.g., leader or trailer regions) surrounding one, several or all of the genes of the virus or one or more heterologous gene(s) in the form of ribonucleocapsids containing N, P and L proteins, which are capable of replicating and assembling with the remaining structural proteins to bud and form virions, or which are only capable of infecting one cell,

Experimental sepsis-induced mitochondrial biogenesis is dependent on autophagy, TLR4, and TLR9 signaling in liver

TL;DR: The results suggest that hepatocyte survival and maintenance of function in sepsis is dependent on a mitochondrial homeostasis pathway marked by mitophagy and biogenesis, and CLP‐induced markers of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial number and density recovered over time.

Identification of a Minimal Size Requirement for Termination of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus mRNA: Implications for the Mechanism of Transcription

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a gene-end sequence must be positioned a minimal distance from a gene -start sequence for the polymerase to efficiently terminate transcription, and that the sequence between the gene-start and gene- end signals, or its potential to adopt an RNA secondary structure, had only a minor effect on the efficiency with which polymerase terminated transcription.
