High metabolic rates in running birds

Article Abstract:

Oxygen consumption in Rhea americana has been measured to determine the maximal metabolic rates. The rheas were trained to run on a treadmill and the factorial increase in anaerobic metabolism was 1.7 times greater than previously reported avian values. Respiratory structure-function relationships are found to be quantitatively similar to mammals, and the rheas maximal high rates of oxygen uptake are achieved with existing cardiovascular and muscular structures, instead of by qualitative adjustment.

Claudin-1 is a hepatitis C virus co-receptor required for a late step in entry

Article Abstract:

Claudin-1 (CLDN1) is a tight junction hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-receptor, which is often required for HCV infection of human hepatoma cell lines, which is a leading cause of the spread of cirrhosis and liver cancer all across the globe. The extracellular loop of CLDN1 is found to highly influence the HCV entry at a very later stage after the binding and interaction with the virus and hence plays an extremely crucial role in the development of various antiviral drugs.
