Article Abstract
The human para influenza virus (HPIV) type 3 is an imperative respiratory virus which cause upper and lower respiratory infections. The receptor involved in the viral infection is haem agglutinin neuraminidase. It is of interest to study the interaction of haem agglutinin neuraminidase with zanamavir (4-GU-DANA), a known antiviral drug. We used the PDB structures with PDB IDs 1V2I, 1V3B, 1V3D and 1V3E for studying the interactions with zanamavir. The binding features of zanamavir with 1V2I (1.41kcal/mol) and 1V3E (11.81kcal/mol) having optimal interactions is reported for further consideration.

Hemolysis is associated with thrombosis and vascular dysfunction, which are the pathological components of many diseases. Hemolytic products, including hemoglobin and hemin, activate platelets (PLT). Despite its activation, the effect of hemolysis on platelet clearance remains unclear, It is critical to maintain a normal platelet count and ensure that circulating platelets are functionally viable.

Article Synopsis
- The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis shows genetic variability and can produce different sub-strains, which was observed during a study where variants W50 beige (BE1) and W50 brown (BR1) emerged when cultured under specific conditions.
- These variants exhibited notable changes, including differences in pigmentation, reduced enzyme activity, and less virulence compared to the original strain, with genotyping revealing significant genetic deletions and alterations in key loci.
- The findings suggest that the genetic modifications in BE1 and BR1, particularly at the hagA-kgp locus, contribute to their altered phenotypic traits, impacting their pathogenicity and interactions in the host.

Materials And Methods: C57BL/6 mice were treated with coronary artery ligation to generate an MI model, followed by treatment for 3 weeks with NOB (50 mg/kg/d) or vehicle (50 mg/kg/d), with or without the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR) inhibitor T0070907 (1 mg/kg/d). Cardiac function (echocardiography, survival rate, Evans blue, and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining), fibrosis (Masson's trichrome staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and western blot (WB)), hypertrophy (haematoxylin-eosin staining, wheat germ agglutinin staining, and qRT-PCR), and apoptosis (WB and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) staining) were evaluated. Hypoxia-induced apoptosis (TUNEL, WB) and phenylephrine- (PE-) induced pathological hypertrophy (immunofluorescence staining, qRT-PCR) models were established in primary neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs).

As letters form the vocabulary of a language, biochemical 'symbols' (the building blocks of oligo- and polymers) make writing molecular messages possible. Compared to nucleotides and amino acids, sugars have chemical properties that facilitate to reach an unsurpassed level of oligomer diversity. These glycans are a part of the ubiquitous cellular glycoconjugates.

Deciphering protein-protein interactions is a critical step in the identification and the understanding of biological mechanisms deployed by pathogenic bacteria. The development of in vivo technologies to characterize these interactions is still in its infancy, especially for bacteria whose subcellular organization is particularly complex, such as mycobacteria. In this work, we used the proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) to define the mycobacterial heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HbhA) interactome in the saprophytic bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis.
