Cell-associated (CA) HIV RNA has received much attention in recent years as a surrogate measure of the efficiency of HIV latency reversion and because it may provide an estimate of the viral reservoir size. This review provides an update on some recent insights in the biology and clinical util...
To express all its genes, HIV produces a large number of differentially spliced transcripts collectively termed “cell-associated (CA) HIV RNA” [1,2]. In HIV-infected individuals, especially those on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), CA HIV RNA is an important surrogate marker of the v...

1. Introduction Parvalbumin (PA) is a small, acidic, mostly cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein of the EF-hand superfamily. It was found in lower and higher vertebrates, including humans (for reviews, see [1–4]). PA was found in fast twitch muscle cells, heart tissue, nephrons, specific ...
Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; rtteixeira@fc.ul.pt Abstract: The cork layer present in all dicotyledonous plant species with radial growth is the result of the phellogen activity, a secondary meristem that produces phellem (cork) to the outside and phel...
Over the past 20 years, HEV has been considered an imported disease in developed countries, but there is evidence that autochthonous HEV infection is underrecognized, despite a steadily increasing incidence [8]. In this review, we mainly describe the current knowledge about molecular biology, ...
The role of TEs in the evolution of genes and genomes has been widely assessed over the past years in a variety of model and non-model organisms. Drosophila is undoubtedly among the most powerful model organisms used for the purpose of studying the role of transposons and their effects on ...
