Viral tropism is the ability of a given virus to productively infect a particular cell (cellular tropism), tissue (tissue tropism) or host species (host tropism). Various host innate immune ...

providing us true dominion over anellovirus virology and novel insight into the truly unique hallmarks of anellovirus biology including highly targeted subtype-specific tissue tropism. Building on ...

Although genetically similar, each serovar group differs in disease severity and tissue tropism through mechanisms that are not well understood. It is clear that host genetic differences also play ...

Many gene therapy developers use viral vectors that exhibit specific tissue tropism as delivery vehicles, meaning they preferentially infect certain tissues to deliver the gene therapy cargo.

and tissue tropism of multiple severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants in adult cats. A new wave of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections is occurring around the world ...

In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrate the role of integrins in the establishment of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 ...

We first quantified the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in autopsy tissue samples obtained from 22 ... conditions was associated with SARS-CoV-2 tropism for the kidneys (Table S2), even in patients without ...

These findings, reported in The American Journal of Pathology, are contrary to what is observed in other viral infections of the eye such as herpesvirus, where infection is typically associated ...
