The UConn Health team, led by associate professor of orthopedic surgery Syam Nukavarapu, described their findings in a recent issue of Journal of Biomedical Materials Research-Part B, where the work is featured on the journal cover.

Bioengineers Develop Hybrid Hydrogel System to Help Heal Bones A team of UConn Health researchers has designed a novel, hybrid hydrogel system to help address some of the challenges in repairing bone in the event of injury. Continues in the next post

One reason for this is the technical difficulty of manufacturing vaccines based on the envelope proteins of the virus, according to Phil Berman, who led development of a major component of the only vaccine to have shown any efficacy against HIV in a clinical trial.

Technical Advances Provide Big Improvements in HIV Vaccine Production. Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few candidate vaccines have been tested in clinical trials. (Continuies)

These E. coli bacteria harbor proteins from the eavesdropping virus. One of the viral proteins has been tagged with a red marker. When the virus is in the 'stay' mode (left), the bacteria grow and the red protein is spread throughout each cell.#HIV #AIDS #immune #virology

For more than 20 years, scientists at Scripps Research have chipped away at the challenges of designing an HIV vaccine. Now new research, published in Immunity, shows that their experimental vaccine strategy works in non-human primates. Journal of Virology and Antiviral Research

HIV in liver cells found to be inactive. Certain immune system cells found in the human liver, called liver macrophages, contain only inert HIV and aren't likely to reproduce infection on their own in HIV-infected people on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART).

about the role of viruses in shaping evolution, in particular viral interactions between modern humans and Neanderthals.

Human evolution used to be depicted as a straight line, gradually progressing from an ape-like ancestor to modern Homo sapiens. But thanks to next-generation sequencing, findings in recent years have shown that it wasn't quite so orderly. Now, a new study is reporting new details

#Hepatitis refers to an inflammation of the #liver cells and damage to the liver. There are different types and causes, but the symptoms can be similar.The liver's functions include detoxifying the blood, storing #vitamins, and producing hormones.

Ebola virus disease also Ebola hemorrhagic fever, simply Ebola, is a viral hemorrhagic fever of humans and other primates caused by ebolaviruses. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting virus with a fever, sore throat, muscular pain.

A virus, previously believed to only be present in healthy people in tissues not protected by the immune system,now be found in the eyes of mice causing chronic inflammation. It affect over 50% of the adults by the age of 40 has recently been revealed to be even more threatening.

Viruses are notoriously difficult to classify due to their enormous diversity, high rates of change and tendency to exchange genetic material. Journal of Virology and Antiviral Research welcomes to submit papers. Online: https://t.co/BEPynajUcZ Email: biomed@scitechnol.com

Infectious Diseases: Prevention and Control

A #virus is a collection of genetic material (#DNA or #RNA) inside a protein shell. There is much scientific debate about whether #viruses are alive. Like living creatures, they carry genes and evolve. Email: editor.jva@peerjournals.org

Virus infectious agent found in virtually all life forms,humans, animals, plants, bacteria. Viruses consist of genetic material either deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acid surrounded by a protective coating of protein, called a capsid, with or without outer lipid envelope.

A virus is an infectious non-living particle that cannot survive on its own. The life cycle of the virus is a series of steps that enable the virus to infect a host and replicate itself. Explore structure of virus, viral structure types, and functions of virus structure.

At the time of #infection with #HIV, the higher the number of #CD4+ cells that become damaged, the weaker the #immune system becomes and the less able a person is to fight off infection and #disease. Eventually, this results in the development of #AIDS.
