A new prognostic model could potentially predict and stratify the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who are noncirrhotic and not indicated for ...
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed the first transgenic nonhuman primate model—genetically modified to carry a human gene—for studying hepatitis B virus. The breakthrough ...
A new study published in Microbiology Spectrum reports the establishment of a liver-humanized NSG-PiZ mouse model that is fully permissive to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this model, HBV can ...
Around 260 million people, more than three percent of the global population, are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV); in the long term, this often leads to complications such as ...
Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in ...
The CRISPR gene-editing tool can be used to silence an important hepatitis B virus gene, a proof-of-concept in vitro study suggests. "It's the first time we've seen CRISPR editing done in a hepatitis ...
