- - The Zika virus (ZIKV) has spread from Asia to the Americas, causing a pandemic between 2015 and 2016, and continues to evolve in Southeast Asia, making it crucial to understand its changing characteristics.
- - A study compared a new ZIKV isolate from Cambodia in 2019 (CAM/2019) to an earlier strain from 2010 (CAM/2010), finding that although their growth in cell cultures was similar, CAM/2019 showed significantly increased neurovirulence in neonatal mice.
- - The CAM/2019 isolate had 12 amino acid changes, including one associated with neurovirulence seen in other strains linked to severe outcomes, underscoring the importance of
It has been shown that melatonin may affect bone metabolism. However, it is controversial whether melatonin could promote osteoblast proliferation, and the precise molecular mechanism of melatonin on osteoblast proliferation is still obscure. In this study, the results of the CCK-8 assay showed that melatonin significantly promoted human osteoblastic cell line hFOB 1.
