Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has created serious health problems worldwide. The most effective way to prevent the occurrence of new epidemic outbreaks is vaccination. One of the modern and effective approaches to vaccine development is the use of virus-like particles (VLPs).

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes immune disorders that create conditions for the reactivation of human herpesviruses (HHVs). However, the estimates of the HHVs effect on the course and outcome of COVID-19 are ambiguous. Аim - to study the possible relationship between the HHV reactivation and the adverse outcome of COVID-19.

Introduction: In Russia, almost half of the cases of acute intestinal infections of established etiology in 2022 are due to rotavirus infection (RVI). There is no specific treatment for rotavirus gastroenteritis. There is a need to develop modern, effective and safe vaccines to combat rotavirus infection that are not capable of multiplying (replicating) in the body of the vaccinated person.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the basic culprits behind chronic liver disease, which may result in cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. In spite of the extensive research conducted, a vaccine against HCV has not been yet created. We have obtained human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and used them for expressing the HCV NS5A protein as a model vaccination platform.

Despite the development of efficient anti-human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) therapy, HIV-1 associated pathogens remain a major clinical problem. Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is among the most common HIV-1 copathogens and one of the main causes of persistent immune activation associated with dysregulation of the immune system, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular pathologies, and premature aging. Here, we report on the development of dual-targeted drugs with activity against both HIV-1 and CMV.

Acute and chronic liver diseases are a major global public health problem; nevertheless, the etiology of 12-30% of cases remains obscure. The purpose of this research was to study the incidence of human herpesviruses (HHVs) cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and HHV-6 in patients with hepatitis and to examine the effect of HHV on the disease severity. We studied the clinical materials of 259 patients with hepatitis treated in Infectious Clinic n.

Results obtained showed that infection with HCMV prevented the death of THP-1 cells treated with DOX in both active and latent forms of infection. In the presence of mTOR inhibitors (rapamycin and Torin2), the sensitivity of the infected cells to DOX was restored. Rapamycin inhibited the expression of the HCMV protein IE1-p72 and increased sensitivity to DOX.

Leukemic cells from different patients exhibit different sensitivity to anticancer drugs including doxorubicin (DOX). Resistance to chemotherapy decreases efficacy of the treatment and promotes cancer recurrence and metastases. One of the approaches to overcome drug resistance includes E2F1-mediated regulation of the р73 protein that belongs to the р53 family.
