University of Maryland School of Medicine study links hepatitis C spread in Egypt to injection campaigns

A University of Maryland School of Medicine study found that mass treatment campaigns for schistosomiasis in Egypt led to a significant transmission of hepatitis C. The campaign used reusable needles and syringes, which were later replaced with disposable ones.

Chiron Discovers Significant Hepatitis C Binding Mechanism; Data Indicates CD81 Protein May Be A Virus Receptor

Researchers at Chiron Corporation have identified a protein molecule (CD81) that binds to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), providing clues on how the virus infects human cells. This discovery has significant implications for the development of new vaccines and therapeutics to prevent and treat chronic HCV infection.

Joint U.S.-Russian Epidemiology Project To Seek Risk Factors for Hepatitis C

A collaborative study between the US and Russia aims to uncover the causes of Hepatitis C, a prevalent liver disease. The project will collect blood samples and questionnaires from over 4,000 individuals across New Mexico and Chelyabinsk-70, with results expected to shed new light on the virus.

University Of Washington Discovery May Point The Way To New Treatment For Hepatitis C Cases That Do Not Respond To Interferon Therapy

Researchers at the University of Washington have discovered a potential new target for therapeutic drugs to treat hepatitis C. The study found that a protein called NS5A can bind to and inactivate a key component of interferon response, PKR. This could lead to the development of a new treatment for the disease.
