Human Coronaviruses: A Review of Virus–Host Interactions

Yvonne Xinyi Lim, Y. W. Ng, James P. Tam et al. · 25 Jul 2016

Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) are known respiratory pathogens associated with a range of respiratory outcomes. In the past 14 years, the onset of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have thrust HCoVs into spotlight of the research community due to their high pathogenicity in humans. The study of HCoV-host…

Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy

Kenneth Lundström · 21 May 2018

Applications of viral vectors have found an encouraging new beginning in gene therapy in recent years. Significant improvements in vector engineering, delivery, and safety have placed viral vector-based therapy at the forefront of modern medicine. Viral vectors have been employed for the treatment of various diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular, muscular, hematologic, ophthalmologic, and infectious…

Food Antioxidants and Their Anti-Inflammatory Properties: A Potential Role in Cardiovascular Diseases and Cancer Prevention

K. Griffiths, Bharat B. Aggarwal, Ram B. Singh et al. · 1 Aug 2016

Mediterranean-style diets caused a significant decline in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in early landmark studies. The effect of a traditional Mediterranean diet on lipoprotein oxidation showed that there was a significant reduction in oxidative stress in the intervention group (Mediterranean diet + Virgin Olive Oil) compared to the low-fat diet group. Conversely, the increase in oxidative…

Male Infertility: The Effect of Natural Antioxidants and Phytocompounds on Seminal Oxidative Stress

Malik Adewoyin, Muhammad Ibrahim, Roszaman Ramli et al. · 1 Mar 2017

Defective sperm function has been identified as the most common cause of infertility. The objective of this study was to review recent findings on the effects of various antioxidants on male fertility. High amounts of poly unsaturated fatty acid are found in the mammalian spermatozoa membranes, thereby making them susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Although, free…

Mitochondrial Dynamics in Mitochondrial Diseases

Juan M. Suárez-Rivero, Marina Villanueva‐Paz, Patricia de la Cruz‐Ojeda et al. · 23 Dec 2016

Mitochondria are very versatile organelles in continuous fusion and fission processes in response to various cellular signals. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission/fusion, movements and turnover, are essential for the mitochondrial network quality control. Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics can cause neuropathies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in which mitochondrial fusion and transport are impaired, or dominant optic…
