Objective: To clone, express and characterize the capsid protein of human Norwalk virus Guangzhou strain NVgz01.

Methods: On the basis of successful construction of full-genome clones and sequence analysis of human norovirus Guangzhou strain NVgz01, the full capsid gene was ligated into pET28a (+) for expression. After IPTG induction, the recombinant protein was purified through metal (Ni(2+)) chelating affinity chromatography. Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to determine the antigenicity of the recombinant protein.

Results: The recombinant capsid gene was overexpressed in E.coli, yielding the recombinant protein with relative molecular mass of 62x10(3) that was highly purified through metal (Ni(2+)) chelating affinity chromatography. IDEIA Norovirus Kit and immunoassay showed that the recombinant protein had good antigenicity.

Conclusion: The capsid gene of norovirus Guangzhou strain has been cloned and expressed, which can be useful for developing diagnostic reagents or vaccine of norovirus.

Robust ferromagnetism in wafer-scale FeGaTe above room-temperature.

Nat Commun

December 2024

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510275, China.

The discovery of ferromagnetism in van der Waals (vdW) materials has enriched the understanding of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic orders and opened new avenues for fundamental physics research and next generation spintronics. However, achieving ferromagnetic order at room temperature, along with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, remains a significant challenge. In this work, we report wafer-scale growth of vdW ferromagnet FeGaTe using molecular beam epitaxy.

State Key Laboratory for Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China.

The anthroponotic Cryptosporidium hominis differs from the zoonotic C. parvum in its lack of infectivity to animals, but several divergent subtypes have recently been found in nonhuman primates and equines. Here, we sequence 17 animal C.

Department of Anatomy, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Digital Medicine and Biomechanics, Guangdong Engineering Research Center for Translation of Medical 3D Printing Application, National Virtual & Reality Experimental Education Center for Medical Morphology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, No.1023, South Shatai Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510515, China.

Background: This study investigated the impact of higher interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) on the stability of locking plate fixation in lateral tibial plateau fractures.

Methods: Biomechanical experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to compare the performance of the AO cancellous lag screw (AOCLS) and a newly developed combined cancellous lag screw (CCLS).

Results: The results demonstrated that the CCLS provided a higher IFCF without the risk of over-screwing, significantly improving fixation stability.

Department of Gastroenterology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Gastroenterology, Institute of Gastroenterology of Guangdong Province, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: The interplay between gut microbiota and immune responses is crucial in ulcerative colitis (UC). Though Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) shows therapeutic potential, the mechanisms remain unclear. This study sought to investigate differences in therapeutic efficacy among different forms or strains of Akk and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
