How does a virus bud?
How does a virus bud from the plasma membrane of its host? Here we investigate several possible rate-limiting processes, including thermal fluctuations of the plasma membrane, hydrodynamic interactions, and diffusion of the glycoprotein spikes. We find that for bending moduli greater than 3 x 10(-13) ergs, membrane thermal fluctuations are insufficient to wrap the viral capsid, and the mechanic...
متن کاملHow does the ureteric bud branch?
Many genes that modulate kidney development have been identified; however, the molecular interactions that direct arborization of the ureteric bud (UB) remain incompletely understood. This article discusses how "systems" approaches may shed light on the structure of the gene network during UB branching morphogenesis and the mechanisms involved in the formation of a branched collecting system fr...
متن کاملHow does Zika virus cause microcephaly?
The re-emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted flavivirus circulating in >70 countries and territories, poses a significant global threat to public health due to its ability to cause severe developmental defects in the human brain, such as microcephaly. Since the World Health Organization declared the ZIKV outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Con...
متن کاملZIKA--How fast does this virus mutate?
The World Health Organization has declared the present Zika virus epidemic to be a 'Public Health Emergency of International Concern'. The virus appears to have spread from Thailand to French Polynesia in 2013, and has since infected over a million people in the countries of South and Central America. In most cases the infection is mild and transient, but the virus does appear to be strongly ne...
