Viruses manipulate cell biology to utilize monocytes/macrophages as vessels for
dissemination, long-term persistence within tissues and virus replication. Viruses enter cells …

Sustained virologic response (SVR) is defined as aviremia 24 weeks after completion of
antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In analyses of SVR durability …

The differentiation capacity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) holds great promise for
therapeutic applications. We report a novel three‐stage method to efficiently direct the …

BACKGROUND & AIMS:: A sustained virologic response (SVR) to therapy for hepatitis C
virus (HCV) infection is defined as the inability to detect HCV RNA 24 weeks after …

Background & Aims: It is unclear whether hepatitis C virus (HCV) is eradicated in patients
with chronic hepatitis C who achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR). Methods: In …

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a remarkably successful pathogen, establishing persistent
infection in more than two-thirds of those who contract it. Its success is related to its abilities …

ContextHepatitis C virus (HCV) is a common blood-borne pathogen that relies heavily on
nucleic acid testing for confirmation of infection. Nucleic acid tests are invaluable for the …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicates primarily in the liver, but HCV RNA has been observed in
association with other tissues and cells including B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, and …

An estimated 170 million persons are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) worldwide.
While hepatocytes are the major site of infection, a broad clinical spectrum of extrahepatic …

Palm oil mill wastes (palm kernel shell (PKS)) were used to prepare activated carbons,
which were tested in the removal of colorants from water. The adsorbents were prepared by …
