recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Neuroscience Letters"

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2018.06.009

Abstract: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is an ideal vector for gene transduction into the central nervous system because of its safety and efficiency. While it is currently widely used for clinical trials and is expected to become… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.4c00085

Abstract: Nonenveloped viruses employ unique entry mechanisms to breach and infect host cells. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing antiviral strategies. Prevailing perspective suggests that nonenveloped viruses release membrane pore-forming peptides to breach host membranes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41428-020-0355-4

Abstract: A variety of chemical approaches for the rational design of artificial proteins and peptides have been developed in recent years for the construction of self-assembled nanocapsules. It was previously found that a synthetic 24-mer β-annulus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/mmnp/2025024

Abstract: Many viral capsids are icosahedral-like polyhedra whose folding involves a RNA-tethered string of identical proteinaceous capsomeres. The initial configuration of such tethered ccapsomeres can be represented as Dürer nets which are planar graphs of cuts of polyhedra. While there are only… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.95.062402

Abstract: We present a Landau theory for large-l orientational phase transitions and apply it to the assembly of icosahedral viral capsids. The theory predicts two distinct types of ordering transitions. Transitions dominated by the l=6,10,12, and… read more here.
