The use of CAR-T is becoming more widespread in the treatment of haematological malignancies. In adults, secondary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) after CAR-T have been described. However, there are currently no data on the risk of MDS following CAR-T in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) is an endemic coronavirus responsible for approximately one-third of "common cold" cases. To infect target cells, HCoV-229E first binds to its receptor on the cell surface and then can follow different pathways, entering by direct fusion or by taking advantage of host cell mechanisms such as endocytosis. Based on the role of clathrin, the process can be classified into clathrin-dependent or -independent endocytosis.

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) 1 is a neurotropic virus that has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders. The dysregulation of autophagy by HSV-1 has been proposed as a potential cause of neurodegeneration. While studies have extensively tackled the interaction between autophagy and HSV-1 in neurons, research in glial cells is currently limited.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), a herpesvirus responsible for Aujeszky's disease, causes high mortality in swine populations. To develop effective and novel antiviral strategies, it is essential to understand the mechanism of entry used by PRV to infect its host. Viruses have different ways of entering host cells.

The emergent human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its resistance to current drugs makes the need for new potent treatments for COVID-19 patients strongly necessary. Dextran sulfate (DS) polysaccharides have long demonstrated antiviral activity against different enveloped viruses . However, their poor bioavailability has led to their abandonment as antiviral candidates.
