PLASMA ANTIBODIES FROM HUMANS INFECTED WITH ZOONOTIC SIMIAN FOAMY VIRUS DO NOT INHIBIT CELL-TO-CELL TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS DESPITE BINDING TO THE SURFACE OF INFECTED CELLS.

Plasma antibodies from humans infected with zoonotic simian foamy virus do not inhibit cell-to-cell transmission of the virus despite binding to the surface of infected cells.

Zoonotic simian foamy viruses (SFV) establish lifelong infection in their human hosts.Despite repeated transmission of SFV from nonhuman primates to humans, neither transmission between human hosts nor severe clinical manifestations have been reported.We aim to study the immune responses elicited by chronic infection with this retrovirus and previo

Future perspectives for PDE5 inhibitors bridging the gap between cardiovascular health and psychological status

Abstract The serendipitous discovery that inhibiting type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE5) using sildenafil, a potent PDE5 Conditioner inhibitor (PDE5i) initially developed for cardioprotection, introduced the possibility of orally managing erectile dysfunction (ED) led to an increase in research data, which are currently considered groundbreaking for th
