Article Synopsis
- - The discontinuation of the smallpox vaccine in 1980 has led to increased cases of poxvirus infections like monkeypox, raising public health concerns due to lack of immunity in the population.
- - This study uses the ectromelia virus (ECTV), responsible for mousepox, as a model to explore poxvirus behavior and the role of mitochondria in immune response during ECTV infection.
- - Results show that altering the shape of the mitochondrial network affects MAVS-dependent immunity, with elongated networks reducing ECTV replication and fragmented networks leading to increased immune response suppression during infection.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are found in open waters, but the effect of their low concentrations on an organism's homeostasis is not fully understood. The aim of the study was to determine the short-term exposure effects of AgNPs coated by PvP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) on the homeostasis of livers and gonads in zebrafish. Sexually mature zebrafish were exposed for seven days to silver ions (0.
