CMV Seroconversion Associated with an high Avidity in a Previously Seronegative Pregnant Woman during her first Trimester of Pregnancy

Authored by Quentin Delefortrie

Recently, we observed in our laboratory a CMV seroconversion with the appearance of CMV-specific IgGtogether with an IgM response in a previously seronegative pregnant woman during her first trimester (week 14) of pregnancy (kit used: Liaison® CMV IgGII and IgMII kits,Diasorin®, Italy). Surprisingly, the latest sample displayed high avidity using the Liaison® IgG Avidity II kit (Diasorin®, Italy). Similar results were observed with those samples using the Vidas® CMV IgG, IgM and Avidity kits (biomérieux®, France)

How Juniper Publishers Ensures High Editorial Standards

How Juniper Publishers Ensures High Editorial Standards Introduction Maintaining high editorial standards is critical in academic publishing to safeguard research quality and integrity. Juniper Publishers, an open-access publisher, outlines several mechanisms it employs to uphold these standards across its wide range of scientific journals. 1. Rigorous Peer Review System At the core of Juniper Publishers’ editorial process is a double-blind peer review system. This means both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous, reducing bias and promoting objective assessment. Manuscripts undergo evaluation for: Scientific validity Originality and relevance Logical structure and coherence Adherence to the journal’s scope This helps eliminate substandard or non-original work before publication. 2. Qualified Editorial Board Members Juniper relies on an international editorial board consisting of domain experts, researchers, and academicians. Their responsibilities...

Application of (bio) chemical engineering principles and lumping analysis in modelling the living systems

  Abstract The ”whole-cell” simulation of cell metabolic processes under considering a variable-volume modelling framework has been reviewed to prove their advantages when building-up modular model structures of simplified form that can reproduce complex protein syntheses inside cells. The more realistic “whole-cell-variable-volume” (VVWC) approach is reviewed when developing modular kinetic representations of the homeostatic gene expression regulatory modules (GERM) that control the protein synthesis and homeostasis of metabolic processes. The paper review the general concepts of the VVWC modelling, while the cited literature includes past and current experience with GERM linking rules in order to point-out how optimized globally efficient kinetic models for the genetic regulatory circuits (GRC) can be obtained to reproduce experimental observations. Based on quantitative regulatory indices evaluated vs. simulated dynamic and stationary environmental perturbations, the reviewed li...

Advances in the Therapy of Advanced Ovarian Cancer-Special Emphasis on the PD1/PDL1 Pathway Authored By Kulvinder Kochar Kaur, Ovarian Cancer gets diagnosed in advanced stage in 75% of patient and thus remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies. Despite 80% patients being responsive to platinum based chemotherapies to start with most relapse finally. Hence need of the hour is to find more effective immunotherapy’s to be added to these CRT. Programmed cell death1 (PD1) -PDL1 is an important immune pathway which is discussed in detail along with role of nivelumab (a monoclonal antibody against PD1) and addition of other immunotherapy’s like bevacizumab, Olafarib (A PARP (polyadenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose- inhibitor), C edinarib (a VEGF123 inhibitor) etc to increase five year survival. Reasons of why success not obtained as expected is further sought through Effect of IFNγ on PDL1 pathway and different NK cellular phenotypes is further analyzed besi...
