The reassortant vaccine strain of live attenuated influenza vaccine inherits temperature sensitivity and areactogenicity from cold-adapted attenuated master donor virus. In Russia, B/ USSR/60/69 master donor virus (B60) is currently in use for the preparation of live attenuated type B influenza vaccine candidates. Trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine based on A/ Leningrad/134/17/57 and B60 are licensed for the use in Russia for single dose vaccination of adults and children over 3 years. B/Leningrad/14/17/55 (B14) cold-adapted virus is a backup master donor virus for live attenuated type B influenza vaccine. According to our preliminary estimates, it is more attenuated than B60, which can allow expanding applicability of this vaccine for children under 3 years of age. In this paper, the role of B14 genes in its attenuation was assessed. Representative collection of reassortants of B14 with epidemic influenza B viruses was obtained, a phenotypic analysis of reassortants was performed, and their pathogenicity for animals was assessed. The leading role of PB2 and PA genes in attenuation of B14 master donor virus was proven.

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are a promising therapeutic approach for cancer, although their systemic administration faces significant challenges. Mesenchymal stem cells have emerged as potential carriers to overcome these obstacles due to their tumor-tropic properties. This study investigates the use of menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) as carriers for OVs in cancer therapy, focusing on enhancing their efficacy through different culture conditions.

The exponential growth of medical knowledge, accompanied by societal changes and expectations for the upcoming generation of physicians, is placing immense pressure on academic institutions to reform their curricula, particularly foundational courses such as human anatomy. Consequently, instructors are grappling with the challenge of striking a balance between a new curriculum and maintaining the time-honored benchmarks of medical education.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from T cells have been proposed to mediate intercellular communication and orchestrate immune responses. The immunosuppressive drug, tacrolimus (TAC), suppresses T cell activity; however, the impact of TAC on T cell-derived EVs remains primarily unexplored. In this study, human primary T cells purified from healthy donors were used to investigate TAC-mediated regulation of EV secretion by T cells.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) readings using three different methods (Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), Corvis ST, and iCare) were compared in patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK). : An observational cross-sectional study with prospective recruitment of patients was conducted. IOP measurements were acquired using GAT, iCare, and Corvis (including both uncorrected IOP (CVS-IOP) and biomechanical IOP (bIOP)), and the agreement among methods was analyzed using Bland-Altman plots.

Various enzymes can be used to modify the structure of hemicelluloses directly in vivo or following extraction from biomass sources, such as wood and agricultural residues. Generally, these enzymes can contribute to designer hemicelluloses through four main strategies: (1) enzymatic hydrolysis such as selective removal of side groups by glycoside hydrolases (GH) and carbohydrate esterases (CE), (2) enzymatic cross-linking, for instance, the selective addition of side groups by glycosyltransferases (GT) with activated sugars, (3) enzymatic polymerization by glycosynthases (GS) with activated glycosyl donors or transglycosylation, and (4) enzymatic functionalization, particularly via oxidation by carbohydrate oxidoreductases and via amination by amine transaminases. Thus, this Perspective will first highlight enzymes that play a role in regulating the degree of polymerization and side group composition of hemicelluloses, and subsequently, it will explore enzymes that enhance cross-linking capabilities and incorporate novel chemical functionalities into saccharide structures.
