Outbreaks of West Nile virus (WNV) occur periodically, affecting both human and equine populations. There are no vaccines for humans, and those commercialised for horses do not have sufficient coverage. Specific antiviral treatments do not exist. Many drug discovery studies have been conducted, b...

Progress in mechanobiology allowed us to better understand the important role of mechanical forces in the regulation of biological processes. Space research in the field of life sciences clearly showed that gravity plays a crucial role in biological processes. The space environment offers the uni...

The present white paper concerns the indications and recommendations of the SciSpacE Science Community to make progress in filling the gaps of knowledge that prevent us from answering the question: "How Do Gravity Alterations Affect Animal and Human Systems at a Cellular/Tissue Level?" This is on...

Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by a global developmental delay with autism spectrum disorder. PMS is caused by loss of function mutations in the SHANK3 gene leading to SHANK3 protein haploinsufficiency. This study describes the generation of isogenic clones...
