Host protein PRPS2 interact with the non-structural protein p17 of Avian Reovirus and promote viral replication by Hu Xiaomiao, Zhao Ruihong, Li Wei, Pan Xiaocheng, Dai Yin, Wu Huimin, Wu Yantao, Zhang Chengcheng

“…Avian reovirus (ARV) is highly prevalent in healthy poultry flocks and has been linked to viral arthritis/tendonitis, dwarf syndrome, chronic respiratory disease, and immunosuppression in avian species, resulting in significant economic losses within the poultry industry. The non-structural protein p17 encoded by ARV induces cellular autophagy and facilitates viral proliferation, playing a pivotal role in viral pathogenesis. …”

Study on the Quantum Confinement of Photo-Generated Carriers in Quantum Wells by Ding Ding, Weiye Liu, Jiaping Guo, Xinhui Tan, Wei Zhang, Lili Han, Zhaowei Wang, Weihua Gong, Xiansheng Tang

“…According to the classical theory, multi-quantum wells (MQWs) have quantum confinement effect on photo-generated carriers, which limits its application in light-to-electric devices. However, relevant experiments showed that a large proportion of photo-generated carriers can escape from MQWs sandwiched in the p-type layer and n-type layer (PIN structure), but not in the NIN structure. …”
