This complement evasion mechanism counteracts terminal complex formation and hence promotes parasite survival in human blood.

Dialysis is not a good option especially for frail elderly patients with higher comorbidity rate. Integration of palliative and supportive care to conservative management improves quality of life and prolongs survival…[Read more]

Although considerable ISGs have been identified in antiviral researches, little is known about ISGs in bluetongue virus (BTV) infection. Viperin is the most…[Read more]

In a self-paced reading experiment, participants read direct object/sentential complement sentences. Reading time in the critical region was investigated…[Read more]
