Topology and membrane rearrangements of the hepatitis C virus protein NS4B
(2006-09-15)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease and viral hepatitis around the world. Approximately 180 million people or 3% of the world's population are infected with the virus. The infection does only ...
Molecular studies of the hepatitis C virus : the role of IRES activity for therapy response, and the impact of the non-structural protein
(2006-08-18)
Chronic hepatitis C can lead to life threatening conditions like cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are an estimated 170 million chronic carriers of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) world wide, making ...
Biased signalling at the IGF-1R : pitfalls and potential of the GRK/beta-arrestin system in cancer therapeutics
(2018-05-25)
Embedded into the boundary between the living machinery and the external space, plasma membrane receptors allow cells to perceive their environment and elicit appropriate responses. Two of the largest classes of receptors ...
