Retroviral assembly is a highly coordinated step in the replication cycle. The process is initiated when the newly synthesized Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins are directed to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM), where they facilitate the budding and release of immature viral particles. Extensive research over the years has provided crucial insights into the molecular determinants of this assembly step.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of measuring intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) from skin biopsies and confocal corneal microscopy (CCM) in diagnosing distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) and small fiber neuropathy (SFN) among obese participants.
- Results showed that distal leg IENFD had the highest diagnostic capability for both conditions, while CCM showed poorer performance, and most participants expressed a preference for skin biopsies over the corneal test.
- The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSIq) demonstrated diagnostic abilities similar to distal leg IENFD, highlighting its potential utility in clinical diagnosis of DSP and SFN. *
We measure the complete set of angular coefficients J_{i} for exclusive B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓν[over ¯]_{ℓ} decays (ℓ=e, μ). Our analysis uses the full 711 fb^{-1} Belle dataset with hadronic tag-side reconstruction. The results allow us to extract the form factors describing the B[over ¯]→D^{*} transition and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cb}|.

As part of an international clinical trial readiness study, individuals with CMT1A (ages 18-75 years) underwent clinical outcome assessments (COAs), including the CMT-HI, to capture their longitudinal perspective on the disease burden.
Methods: Two hundred and fifteen participants underwent serial COAs including the CMT-HI, CMT Functional Outcome Measure (CMT-FOM), CMT Neuropathy Score (CMTNSv2R), and CMT Exam Score (CMTES/CMTES-R).
Background And Objectives: To identify trends in educational debt for US medical school graduates entering neurology and compare debt to anticipated compensation.
Methods: Data of 148 accredited medical schools were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation and Matriculating Student Questionnaires to identify self-reported educational debt for graduates pursuing neurology training. Trends were assessed in a 2-year interval from 2010 to 2021.
