A Second Receptor Binding Site on Human Parainfluenza Virus Type 3 Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Contributes to Activation of the Fusion Mechanism
Jan. 17, 2007
The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of paramyxoviruses carries out three discrete activities that affect the ability of HN to promote viral fusion and entry: receptor binding, receptor cleaving, and triggering of the fusion protein. The authors suggest that the two receptor binding sites on HPIV3 HN each contribute in distinct ways to virus-cell interaction; one is the multifunctional site that contains both binding and neuraminidase activities, and the other contains binding activity and also is involved in fusion promotion.

Niche-to-niche migration of bone-marrow-derived cells
Jan. 2, 2007
A summary of the current understanding of haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche characteristics, and the physiological and pathological mechanisms that guide HSC homing both within the bone marrow and to distant niches in the periphery, promoting new vessel growth in tumors and ischaemia.

A daring treatment and a successful outcome: The need for targeted therapies for pediatric respiratory viruses
Jan. 1, 2007
A team of dedicated physicians rely, successfully, on an untested treatment for their pediatric patient actively infected with human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3), highlighting the need for specific proven strategies to protect and treat children with this virus.
