Why Hepatitis A and E Travel Through Water, Not PeopleBoth hepatitis A and hepatitis E are fecal-oral diseases. That phrase sounds clinical, but the mechanism is direct: human waste enters a water source, the water reaches your tap or your food, and the virus completes its route. Unlike hepatitis B…

Actress Pamela Anderson recently discussed her 2015 recovery from hepatitis C at amfAR Gala Venice.

Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), also known as Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, is a multifocal inflammatory neuropathy primarily affecting the brachial and

Interferon-Powered Protein TRIM22 Strips Hepatitis B of Its Metabolic Fuel and Unmutes the Cell’s Viral Alarm Scientists at Fujian Medical University in China have mapped a previously hidden circuit that ties cellular metabolism to innate antiviral immunity in hepatitis B — and

Immune Protein IFI35 Disarms Hepatitis B by Destroying Its Master Transcription Switch More than 257 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, facing elevated risks of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma that current drugs can suppress

Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection that can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. A vaccine exists, but many don’t know they are infected.

Researchers have uncovered a biological mechanism that helps explain why hepatitis E virus infections can be especially severe—and often fatal—during pregnancy, finding that normal pregnancy-related hormonal …

Researchers have uncovered a biological mechanism that helps explain why hepatitis E virus infections can be especially severe – and often fatal

Researchers have uncovered a biological mechanism that helps explain why hepatitis E virus infections can be especially severe — and often fatal — during pregnancy, finding that normal pregnancy-related hormonal changes inadvertently trigger a cascade allowing the virus to thrive.The study in cell cultures and rabbits found that a hormone th…

Hepatitis E during pregnancy can become severe, especially in the second and third trimesters. Know the symptoms, pregnancy risks, warning signs, prevention tips and why safe drinking water and timely medical care are crucial.

Drug-induced liver injury is one of the leading causes of acute liver injury and may mimic other liver diseases, including idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis. Although albendazole is generally a sa…

One of the biggest misconceptions is that every form of hepatitis spreads easily within households. In reality, the mode of transmission depends on the type of hepatitis

Genetic material is not unpacked It has long been known that the hepatitis E virus cannot establish an infection in mice, but the reasons were unknown. The virology research team in Bochum therefore systematically examined the replication cycle of the virus in liver cell cultures

Many viruses can infect both humans and animals, including hepatitis E virus. This virus is often transmitted to humans via contaminated meat products, such as by ingesting raw or undercooked pork or …

Mouse liver cells are not a suitable host for hepatitis E viruses. The Virology department in Bochum has discovered why.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is classically described as causing self-limiting acute hepatitis. However, it is increasingly being recognised for a wide spectrum of immune-mediated extrahepa…

Mouse liver cells are not a suitable host for hepatitis E viruses. The Virology department in Bochum has discovered why.

Infections with the hepatitis E virus (HEV) are the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. In healthy people, they usually resolve without the person even noticing. For people with preexisting …

Viral hepatitis are among the main infectious disease killers

Hepatitis refers to an inflammation of the liver that is a vital organ, performing many essential functions, including filtering toxins, producing proteins, and aiding digestion
