Targeting interactions between a virus and a host protein is one of the important approaches to developing antiviral therapies. We previously identified host nucleolin as a novel interacting partner of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein, and it was demonstrated that this interaction restricts virus replication. In the current study, we examined the interaction of nucleolin with the viral nucleoprotein at the domain and amino acid levels using in vitro and in silico approaches.

- In India, 13% of newborns are preterm, contributing to a significant portion (23.4%) of global preterm births.
- A study was conducted analyzing 600 high vaginal swab samples from pregnant women across all trimesters to compare microbiome differences between those who delivered at term and those with preterm births.
- The research identified specific microbial signatures linked to term and preterm births and developed a simple dipstick assay for quick identification of preterm-associated bacteria in low-resource settings.
