Increased knowledge of biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA drug components may aid efficacy and safety evaluation. Mice were subcutaneously administrated LNP encapsulated enhanced green fluorescent protein mRNA and sampled up to 72 h after dosing. LNP, mRNA and translated protein were quantified by LC-MS, branched DNA and ELISA. Highest levels of LNP and mRNA were detected in skin, followed by spleen, but also rapidly distributed to circulation. Translated protein showed high concentration in skin and spleen, but also in liver and kidney across 24 h where the LNP was cleared at 4 h. Subcutaneously dosing LNP encapsulated mRNA in mice resulted in a nonlinear relationship of LNP, mRNA and protein concentration across multiple tissues.

Numerous host factors function as intrinsic antiviral effectors to attenuate viral replication. MARCH8 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that has been identified as a host restriction factor that inhibits the replication of various viruses. This study elucidated the mechanism by which MARCH8 restricts respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication through selective degradation of the viral small hydrophobic (SH) protein.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which are the only members of the gamma(γ) herpesviruses, are oncogenic viruses that significantly contribute to the development of various human cancers, such as Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, and primary effusion lymphoma. Oncogenesis triggered by γ-herpesviruses involves complex interactions between viral genetics, host cellular mechanisms, and immune evasion strategies. At the genetic level, crucial viral oncogenes participate in the disruption of cell signaling, leading to uncontrolled proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis.

Over the past two decades, plant viral vectors have emerged as a powerful tool for the production of recombinant proteins in plants. Among the different plant viruses engineered to carry foreign genes of interest in their genomes, potyviruses have gained attention due to their polyprotein expression strategy and broad host range. To date, at least eleven different species belonging to the genus have been used for heterologous gene expression in both their natural and experimental hosts.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging, mosquito-borne arthritic alphavirus increasingly associated with severe neurological sequelae and long-term morbidity. However, there is limited understanding of the crucial host components involved in CHIKV replicase assembly complex formation, and thus virus replication and virulence-determining factors, within the central nervous system (CNS). Furthermore, the majority of CHIKV CNS studies focus on neuronal infection, even though astrocytes represent the main cerebral target.
