Repurposing staples for viruses: applying peptide design to RSV prophylaxis.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for lower respiratory tract infections and annually results in 200,000 deaths worldwide. Despite the burden of RSV-associated disease, treatments and preventative measures are limited. In this issue of JCI, Bird and colleagues describe their work using a peptide stapling technique that allowed synthesis of a stable peptide mimic of a portion of t...
متن کاملCompliance with RSV prophylaxis: Global physicians’ perspectives
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of morbidity in high-risk infants. Palivizumab is proven to prevent serious RSV disease, but compliance with prophylaxis (monthly doses during the RSV season) is essential to ensure protection. We invited 453 pediatricians to participate in a survey to identify their perspectives of barriers to compliance and interventions to improve comp...
متن کاملRevised recommendations concerning palivizumab prophylaxis for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus infections are one of the leading causes of severe respiratory diseases that require hospitalization and, in some cases, intensive care. Once resolved, there may be respiratory sequelae of varying severity. The lack of effective treatments for bronchiolitis and the lack of vaccines for RSV accentuate the role of prevention in decreasing the impact of this disease. Pr...

متن کاملApplying Description Logics for Workflow Reuse and Repurposing
1 Reuse and repurposing in e-Science Workflow techniques are an important part of in silico experimentation, potentially allowing a scientist to describe and enact their experimental processes in a structured, repeatable and verifiable way. The my Grid (www.mygrid.org.uk) workbench, a set of components to build workflows in bioinformatics, currently allows access to a thousand globally distribu...
