Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a powerful and effective tool for the delivery of exogenous genes into various cells or tissues. To improve the gene delivery efficiency, as well as the safety and specificity of AAV's cell-targeting capabilities, extensive investigations have been conducted into its molecular biological characteristics, including capsid structure, cellular tropism, and the mechanisms underlying its entry, replication, DNA packaging, and capsid assembly. Significant differences exist between human and non-human primate AAVs regarding tissue targeting and transduction efficiency.

The ubiquitin E2 variant domain of TSG101 (TSG101-UEV) plays a pivotal role in protein sorting and virus budding by recognizing PTAP motifs within ubiquitinated proteins. Disruption of TSG101-UEV/PTAP interactions has emerged as a promising strategy for the development of host-oriented broad-spectrum antivirals with low susceptibility to resistance. TSG101 is a challenging target characterized by an extended and flat binding interface, low affinity for PTAP ligands, and complex binding energetics.

Background: Wildlife conservation and management aims to restore population declines, it is the vulnerable or endangered populations who require the greatest conservation efforts. In this context, non-invasive sampling has been evaluated as an option for reporting prey/predator impact. Galemys pyrenaicus is currently threatened throughout its range, and cohabits with Nemys anomalus, in Extremadura (Spain).

Opisthorchiasis, caused by the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini, is endemic to Southeast Asian countries and constitutes a major health problem as it increases the risk of cholangiocarcinoma. However, owing to the complicated life cycle of O. viverrini, there is no rapid method for monitoring the risk of infection in the environment.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with increasing incidence and mortality rates. It is typically diagnosed at advanced stages, leading to a poor prognosis. GC is a highly heterogeneous disease and its progression is associated with complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors.
