Journal ArticleDOI

Viral and host factors related to the clinical outcome of COVID-19.

TL;DR: Clinical data from 326 cases suggest that T cell depletion and cytokine bursts are associated with a worse prognosis, and genomic sequences from 112 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 virus showed two clades with similar virulence and clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term functional maintenance of primary human hepatocytes in vitro

TL;DR: 5C-cultured PHHs showed global gene expression profiles and hepatocyte-specific functions resembling those of freshly isolated counterparts, and efficiently recapitulated the entire course of hepatitis B virus infection over 4 weeks with the production of infectious viral particles and formation of HBV covalently closed circular DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C Virus Co-Opts Ras-GTPase-Activating Protein-Binding Protein 1 for Its Genome Replication

TL;DR: G3BP1 is associated with HCV RCs and may be co-opted as a functional RC component for viral replication, which may facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HCV genome replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C virus non‐structural protein NS5A interacts with FKBP38 and inhibits apoptosis in Huh7 hepatoma cells

TL;DR: Results indicate that HCV NS5A inhibits apoptosis through interaction with FKBP38, a 38 kDa immunosuppressant FK506‐binding protein, and such inhibition of apoptosis could specifically be abrogated by depletion of FK BP38 using RNA interference.
