DOI: 10.1007/s12250-019-00106-3
Abstract: As a universal pathogen leading to neonatal defects and transplant failure, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has strict species specificity and this has prevented the development of a suitable animal model for the pathogenesis study. The mechanism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2019.06.003
Abstract: Spontaneous retinal venous pulsations (SRVPs), pulsations of branches of the central retinal vein, are affected by intraocular pressure (IOP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) and thus convey potentially-useful information about ICP. However, the exact relationship between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2018.07.025
Abstract: Chemokines represent a superfamily of small secretion proteins that functionally mediate immune cell transmigration in normal or inflammatory conditions. Although anatomic and polygenetic evidence suggests that tree shrews are primate-like species, understanding of the structure… read more here.
