HEPATITIS C VIRUS STRATEGIES TO EVADE THE SPECIFIC-T CELL RESPONSE: A POSSIBLE MISSION FAVORING ITS PERSISTENCE

Hepatitis C virus strategies to evade the specific-T cell response: a possible mission favoring its persistence

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a small, enveloped RNA virus.The number of HCV-infected individuals worldwide is estimated to be approximately 200 million.The vast majority of HCV infections persist, with up to 80% of all cases leading to chronic hepatitis associated with liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.The interaction between HC

Impact of Sharing Disruption in MC CR-NOMA

Spectrum sharing disruption in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) can significantly degrade network performance.Most sharing disruption attacks in the literature focus on orthogonal multiple access (OMA) or higher layers, such as medium access control (MAC).However, this paper focuses on multi-copyright cognitive radio non-orthogonal multiple access (
