The replication of viral pathogens relies on their ability to manipulate their host. Several steps of the infectious cycle require the hijacking of cellular membranes. Positive stranded RNA viruses replicating in the cytoplasm of their host reorganize cellular membranes. This leads to the formation of organelles, which host viral replication. The formation of such compartments, which are genuine viral factories, induces morphological modifications of the host cell, which vary depending on the pathogen. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such a remodeling remain unclear. These mechanisms are subject to intense research since their formation is indispensable to viral multiplication and therefore represent an attractive therapeutic target. In this review, we provide a bird's eye view on the current knowledge of the architecture and virus-host interactions involved in the biogenesis of positive stranded RNA virus replication organelles.

RNA structures that are functionally important are defined as -acting RNA elements because their functions cannot be compensated for in trans. The -acting RNA elements in the 3' UTR of coronaviruses are important for replication; however, the mechanism linking the -acting RNA elements to their replication function remains to be established. In the present study, a comparison of the biological processes of the interactome and the replication efficiency between the 3' UTR -acting RNA elements in coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, suggests that (i) the biological processes, including translation, protein folding and protein stabilization, derived from the analysis of the -acting RNA element interactome and (ii) the architecture of the -acting RNA elements and their interactomes are highly correlated with coronavirus replication.

Unlabelled: Coronaviruses have large, positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that challenge conventional strategies for mutagenesis. Yeast genetics has been used to manipulate large viral genomes, including those of herpesviruses and coronaviruses. This method, known as transformation-associated recombination (TAR), involves assembling complete viral genomes from dsDNA copies of viral genome fragments via homologous recombination in .

Objective: To develop a tele-intensive care service providing peer-to-peer teleconsultation for physicians in remote and resource-constrained health-care settings for treatment of critically ill patients, and to evaluate the outcomes of the service.
Methods: The Aga Khan University started the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) tele-intensive care unit in 2020. A central command centre used two-way audiovisual technology to connect experienced intensive care specialists to clinical teams in remote hospital settings.
