STUDY DESIGN: The posterolateral rabbit spinal fusion model was used to assess the effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone on spinal fusion outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that intermit...
The role of residues in the conserved hydrophobic N-terminal fusion peptide of the paramyxovirus fusion (F) protein in causing cell-cell fusion was examined. Mutations were introduced into the cDNA en...
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Protein-mediated merger of biological membranes, membrane fusion, is an important process. To investigate the role of fusogenic proteins in the initial size and dynamics of the...
The core complex is a structure involved in the fusion mechanism of many viruses, as well as in intracellular vesicle fusion. A powerful approach for studying the dynamic stages of HIV-1-cell fusion u...
Short hydrophobic N-carbobenzoxy oligopeptides are known to inhibit the infectivity of several enveloped viruses. Recently, it was shown that they inhibited the fusion of Sendai virus with N-methyl-di...
