The first successful recovery of recombinant rotaviruses (RVs) derived entirely from cloned cDNAs in a Japanese study will both improve understanding of RV pathobiology and promote the development of new vaccines and therapeutics.
A study by researchers in Singapore has identified optogenetic inhibitors of brain activity and successfully demonstrated their efficacy in a Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly model, which should improve our understanding of the relationship between neural circuits and behavior.

A plant-derived compound and its analogues may help prevent and treat hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and could contribute to the development of well-tolerated and broadly active inhibitors of HBV, including activity against treatment-resistant strains, a new Japanese study has found.

Researchers at Tokyo's Keio University School of Medicine have developed the first in vitro cochlear cell model using patient-derived disease-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), which allows study of the pathogenesis of congenital deafness and may lead to its treatment.
Researchers at Jinan University in Guangzhou, China, have developed the first stem cell-based treatment strategy for androgen deficiency due to male hypogonadism, whereby adult rodent skin cells are directly converted into functional testosterone-producing Leydig-like cells.
