Plant viruses have traditionally been studied as pathogens in the context of understanding
the molecular and cellular mechanisms of a particular disease affecting crops. In recent …

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the leading causes of acute viral hepatitis. Transmission of
HEV mainly occurs via the fecal-oral route (ingesting contaminated water or food) or by …

Molecular pharming or the technology of application of plants and plant cell culture to
manufacture high-value recombinant proteins has progressed a long way over the last three …

A wide range of virus-like particles (VLPs) is extensively employed as carriers to display
various antigens for vaccine development to fight against different infections. The plant …

The capsid proteins of many viruses are capable of spontaneous self-assembly into virus-
like particles (VLPs), which do not contain the viral genome and are therefore not infectious …

Plants are increasingly used for the production of high-quality biological molecules for use
as pharmaceuticals and biomaterials in industry. Plants have proved that they can produce …

Capsid protein of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is capable of self-assembly into virus-like particles
(VLPs) when expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Such VLPs could be used as …

Simple Summary Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a lesser-known hepatitis virus, but its worldwide
spread is undisputed and has increased in recent years. The zoonotic spread of HEV …

The core antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBcAg) is capable of self-assembly into virus-like
particles (VLPs) when expressed in a number of heterologous systems. Such VLPs are …

Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases cause serious illness with billions of cases,
