Marine birnavirus (MABV), a member of the genus Aquabirnavirus, family Birnaviridae, is an unenveloped icosahedral virus with two genomes of double-stranded RNA. The mechanisms of MABV adsorption and penetration are still undetermined. This work examined MABV infection in susceptible and resistant fish cell lines. MABV adsorbed not only onto the cell surfaces of susceptible (CHSE-214 and RSBK-2) cells but also onto resistant (FHM and EPC) cells. Furthermore, the virus entered the cytoplasm through the endocytotic pathway in CHSE-214, RSBK-2 and FHM cells but did not penetrate EPC cells. Thus, restriction of the MABV replication cycle is different between resistant FHM and EPC cells. The virus was found to bind to an around 250 kDa protein on CHSE-214, RSBK-2, FHM and EPC cells. Thus, this 250 kDa protein may be a major MABV receptor that exists in the plasma membranes of all four cell lines examined. This result suggests further that another receptor for virus penetration may exist in CHSE-214, RSBK-2 and FHM cells but not in EPC cells.

Background: ClockΔ19 mice demonstrate behavioral characteristics and neurobiological changes that closely resemble those observed in bipolar disorder (BD). Notably, abnormalities in the hippocampus have been observed in patients with BD, yet direct molecular investigation of human hippocampal tissue remains challenging due to its limited accessibility.

Methods: To model BD, ClockΔ19 mice were employed.

Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are promising markers of vascular damage and endothelial regeneration potential. We focused on the detection of CECs and EPCs using flow cytometry with regard to analytical challenges and its suitability for routine testing. As part of a clinical validation, CECs and EPCs were measured in blood samples from 83 subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), evaluating an adjuvant intervention with two different antidiabetic drugs, empagliflozin (N = 28) and semaglutide (N = 29).

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally, and the main cause of the disease has been found to be ongoing HPV infection. Cervical cancer remains the primary cause of cancer-related death despite major improvements in screening and treatment approaches, especially in low- and middle-income nations. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the tumor microenvironment in advanced cervical cancer in order to identify possible treatment targets.

Endothelial cells (ENCs) and epithelial cells (EPCs) form monolayers whose barrier function is critical for the maintenance of physiological processes and extremely sensitive to mechanical cues. Computational models have emerged as powerful tools to elucidate how mechanical cues impact the behavior of these monolayers in health and disease. Herein, the importance of mechanics in regulating ENC and EPC monolayer behavior is established, highlighting similarities and differences in various biological contexts.

Cobalt is a crucial trace element that widely exists in natural environments and is necessary for normal physiological function. However, excessive cobalt exposure leads to various adverse health effects, especially hematological and endocrine dysfunctions. Here, we investigated the toxicity of cobalt on early erythropoiesis by using ex vivo cultured erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs).
