Despite being mostly neglected in structural biology, the C-terminal Regions (CTRs) are studied to be multifunctional in humans as well as in viruses. Previously, SARS-CoV-2 Spike and NSP1 proteins' CTRs are observed to be disordered, and experimental evidence showed a gain of structure properties in different physiological environments. In this line, we have investigated the structural dynamics of CTR (residues 38-61) of SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 protein, disrupting bidirectional transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

The attentional blink (AB) paradigm is frequently used to investigate temporal attention. Essentially, rapid serial visual streams of several distractors and two targets are presented. The accuracy in detecting the second target stimulus (T2) decreases in the time window between 100 and 500 ms following accurate detection of the first target stimulus (T1).

Introduction: Clear evidence for the best clinical management of uveal melanoma is lacking in some areas. Therefore, reports on expert opinions in the field can be valuable.
Methods: A questionnaire comprising 10 questions was distributed to potential participants of the 58th Ophthalmic Oncology Group Meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, in June 2024.

Corneal crosslinking (CXL) is a medical procedure used to treat keratoconus. CXL works by strengthening the collagen fibers of the cornea through the application of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and ultraviolet (UV) light, which helps to stabilize the cornea and prevent further deterioration. There is a recognized risk that CXL can trigger the reactivation of dormant herpes simplex virus (HSV), leading to herpetic keratitis even in patients with no history of herpetic disease.

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) is reported to be among the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases globally, presenting ongoing challenges and increasing burden on health care systems. In an effort to support patients with PD, their carers, and the wider health care sector to manage this incurable condition, the focus has begun to shift away from traditional treatments. One of the most contemporary treatments includes prescribing assistive technologies (ATs), which are viewed as a way to promote independent living and deliver remote care.
