Adenoviruses have been studied intensively for over 50 years as models of virus–cell
interactions and latterly as gene vectors. With the advent of more sophisticated structural …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are nanostructures assemble from viral proteins. Besides widely
used for vaccine development, VLPs have also been explored as nanocarriers for cargo …

Nonviral vectors continue to be attractive alternatives to viruses due to their low toxicity and
immunogenicity, lack of pathogenicity, and ease of pharmacologic production. However …

The adenovirus penton, a noncovalent complex of the pentameric penton base and trimeric
fiber proteins, comprises the vertices of the adenovirus capsid and contains all necessary …

Many geometric forms are found in nature, some of them adhering to mathematical laws or
amazing aesthetic rules. One of the best-known examples in microbiology is the icosahedral …

Objective The two related tumor necrosis factor members a proliferation‐inducing ligand

Background Bleomycin (BLM) is an anticancer antibiotic used in many cancer regimens. Its
utility is limited by systemic toxicity and dose-dependent pneumonitis able to progress to …

Adenovirus dodecahedron (Dd), a nanoparticulate proteinaceous biodegradable virus-like
particle (VLP), was used as a vector for delivery of an oncogene inhibitor to hepatocellular …

High sulfation, low cost, and the status of heparin as an already FDA-and EMA-approved
product, mean that its inclusion in tissue engineering (TE) strategies is becoming …

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major bacterial pathogen involved in the development of
otitis media. The pathogenic mechanisms of this middle ear disease, including the bacterial …
