A RARE CASE OF COMPOSITE DURAL EXTRANODAL MARGINAL ZONE LYMPHOMA AND CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA/SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA

A Rare Case of Composite Dural Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

BackgroundPrimary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the dura is a rare neoplastic entity in the central nervous system (CNS).MethodsWe used literature searches to identify previously reported cases of primary dural MZL.We also reviewed clinical, pathologic, and radiographic data of an adult patient with concurrent dural MZL and chronic lym

Modeling the efficiency of filovirus entry into cells in vitro: Effects of SNP mutations in the receptor molecule.

Interaction between filovirus glycoprotein (GP) and the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is essential for membrane fusion during virus entry.Some single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in two surface-exposed loops of NPC1 are known to reduce viral infectivity.However, the dependence of differences in entry efficiency on SNPs remains unclear.Using camo
