The coronavirus nsp14 exoribonuclease interface with the cofactor nsp10 is essential for efficient virus replication and enzymatic activity.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) encode non-structural proteins (nsp's) 1-16, which assemble to form replication-transcription complexes that function in viral RNA synthesis. All CoVs encode a proofreading 3'-5' exoribonuclease in non-structural protein 14 (nsp14-ExoN) that mediates proofreading and high-fidelity replication and is critical for other roles in replication and pathogenesis. The enzymatic activity of nsp14-ExoN is enhanced in the presence of the cofactor nsp10.

Visible-Light-Fueled Polymerizations for 3D Printing.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

Design and application of synthetic 17B-HSD13 substrates reveals preserved catalytic activity of protective human variants.

Several hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 17-beta 13 variants have previously been identified as protective against metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) fibrosis, ballooning and inflammation, and as such this target holds significant therapeutic potential. However, over 5 years later, the function of 17B-HSD13 remains unknown. Structure-aided design enables the development of potent and selective sulfonamide-based 17B-HSD13 inhibitors.

Early Palliative Care Following Aborted Cancer Surgery: Results of a Prospective Feasibility Trial.

Background: Although resection is generally necessary for curative-intent treatment of most solid organ cancers, surgery is occasionally aborted due to intraoperative findings. Following aborted cancer surgery, patients have unique care needs that specialized palliative care (PC) providers may be best equipped to manage. We hypothesized that early ambulatory PC referral following aborted cancer surgery would be feasible and acceptable.

The changing global landscape of national cancer control plans.

Global efforts to highlight cancer and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a growing burden were first raised in 2005 World Health Assembly Resolution 58.22 and reinforced with Resolution 70.12 and the Global NCD action plan in 2017.
