Viruses in the Parvoviridae family constitute one of the most diverse and intriguing fields of research. While they all share an ssDNA genome and a small capsid, they can differ widely in structure, genome organization and expression, virus–cell interaction, and impact on the host. Exploring such diversity and unraveling the inherent complexity in these apparently simple viruses is an ongoing endeavor and commitment for the scientific community. The translational implications of research on parvoviruses are relevant. Within the family, some viruses are important human and veterinary pathogens, in need of diagnostic methods and antiviral strategies; other viruses have long been studied and engineered as tools for oncolytic therapy, or as sophisticated gene delivery vectors, and can now display their wide and expanding applicative potential. This Special Issue of Viruses collects recent contributions in the field of parvovirus research, with a focus on new insights and research on unresolved issues, as well as new approaches exploiting systemic methodologies. Evolution, structural biology, viral replication, virus–host interaction, pathogenesis and immunity, and viral oncotherapy are a selection of the topics addressed in the issue that can be of relevance to the community involved in parvovirus research and of interest to a wider audience.

New Insights into Glioblastoma: Diagnosis, Therapeutics and Theranostics provides a compendium of recent diagnostic and therapeutic advances in GBM, encompassing a pipeline of compounds and (bio) nanotechnology strategies that have stood out with potential increased antitumoral activity and capability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Issues and challenges related to their translation into the clinical practice and their contribution to the increase in survival rates and well-being of patients are addressed. This is a valuable resource for graduate students, oncologists, cancer researchers and members of the biomedical field who need to learn more on recent developments on the management of glioblastoma. The book is split in three parts: Diagnosis, focusing on biomarkers and techniques such PET/MRI, infrared thermography, and deep neural networks; Therapeutics, discussing new chemical entities, as natural products and repurposed drugs, and new formulation approaches, as nanotechnology-based and microRNA approaches; and Theranostics, explaining the role of omics, system-based approaches, and glioblastoma microenvironment. Provides guidance towards recent advances of new chemical entities and delivery strategies targeted to glioblastoma Includes overviews to help readers apply information in their research Encompasses summarizing diagrams and real-world examples to facilitate comprehension and enhance the applicability of the content

The book "New Insights into Cell Culture Technology" focuses on many advanced methods and techniques concerned with cell culture. The contributing authors have discussed various developments in cell culture methods, the application of insect cells for the efficient production of heterologous proteins, the expansion of human mesenchymal stromal cells for different clinical applications, the remote sensing of cell culture experiments and concepts for the development of cell culture bioprocess, continuous production of retroviral pseudotype vectors, and the production of oncolytic measles virus vectors for cancer therapy. This book is an original contribution of experts from different parts of the globe, and the in-depth information will be a significant resource for students, scientists, and physicians who are directly dealing with cells.["Culture" is essential for human life and also the life of a cell. - Sivakumar Gowder]

Since the first case of HIV was diagnosed in 1981, several efforts have gone into its prevention and control. However, it remains a leading scourge today, with no cure despite the international attention and publicity it receives. It is one of the few diseases specifically given attention in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There has been inadequate effort by academia in developing countries towards contributing to in-depth knowledge of HIV, as well as stimulating the interest of students in the topic. As the search for a cure continues, this book is timely, discussing the changing epidemiology of HIV. The contributors are not only academicians, but also seasoned programmers who are working in the realm of HIV care.
