Fever with thrombocytopenia associated with a novel bunyavirus in China.
BACKGROUND
Heightened surveillance of acute febrile illness in China since 2009 has led to the identification of a severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) with an unknown cause. Infection… Expand
Progressive degeneration of human neural stem cells caused by pathogenic LRRK2

The activity of Cdk5 and its regulatory subunit p35 is thought to be important in both normal brain function and neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis. Increased Cdk5 activity, via proteolytic… Expand
Artificial MicroRNA-Mediated Virus Resistance in Plants
ABSTRACT RNA silencing in plants is a natural defense system against foreign genetic elements including viruses. This natural antiviral mechanism has been adopted to develop virus-resistant plants… Expand

BACKGROUND
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease recently identified to be caused by a novel bunyavirus (SFTSV). The clinical diagnosis is urgently… Expand
Host cytokine storm is associated with disease severity of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome.
BACKGROUND
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging viral disease in China, caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV). Severe SFTS patients can quickly proceed to multiorgan dysfunction… Expand
