Anti-apoptotic function of a microRNA encoded by the HSV-1 latency-associated transcript
Article Abstract:
A microRNA (miR-LAT) generated from the exon 1 region of the herpes simplex virus-1 latency-associated transcript (HSV-1LAT) gene is identified and characterized to show that a miRNA encoded by the HSV-1LAT gene confers resistance to apoptosis of infected neurons. Results suggest that the regulation of the induction of apoptosis in infected cells is by modulation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling by the miRNA, contributing to the persistence of HSV in a latent form in sensory neurons.

Reversing the direction of the supercurrent in a controllable Josephson junction
Article Abstract:
The behaviour of the Josephson current has been studied in four similar diffusive superconductor/normal-metal/superconductor (SNS) junctions. A non-thermal distribution function was applied to the normal conducting weak link. The results of one device are presented including the resistance of the normal control channel and observed I-V curves of the SNS junction. The junction is proved to switch from a normal state to a pi-state.

A spin triplet supercurrent through the half-metallic ferromagnet CrO2
Article Abstract:
A Josephson supercurrent through the strong ferromagnet CrO2, from which it is inferred that it is a spin triplet supercurrent, is reported. The underlying physical explanation for this result is found in a conversion from spin singlet pairs to spin triplets at the interface.
