Glycan-protein interactionsGlycan-Protein interactions represent a class of biomolecular interactions that occur between free or protein-bound glycans and their cognate binding partners. Intramolecular glycan-protein (protein-glycan) interactions occur between glycans and proteins that they are covalently attached to. Together with protein-protein interactions, they form a mechanistic basis for many essential cell processes, especially for cell-cell interactions and host-cell interactions.
Skin infectionA skin infection is an infection of the skin in humans and other animals, that can also affect the associated soft tissues such as loose connective tissue and mucous membranes. They comprise a category of infections termed skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs), or skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), and acute bacterial SSSIs (ABSSSIs). They are distinguished from dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), although skin infections can result in skin inflammation.
Viral phenomenonViral phenomena or viral sensation are objects or patterns that are able to replicate themselves or convert other objects into copies of themselves when these objects are exposed to them. Analogous to the way in which viruses propagate, the term viral pertains to a video, image, or written content spreading to numerous online users within a short time period. This concept has become a common way to describe how thoughts, information, and trends move into and through a human population.
Viral pneumoniaViral pneumonia is a pneumonia caused by a virus. Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in one or both of the lungs. The pulmonary alveoli fill with fluid or pus making it difficult to breathe. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children, while in adults bacteria are a more common cause. Symptoms of viral pneumonia include fever, non-productive cough, runny nose, and systemic symptoms (e.g. myalgia, headache).
Marketing viralLe marketing viral, ou bouche à oreille électronique, est une technique de vente qui vise à promouvoir une entreprise ou ses produits et services grâce à un message persuasif qui se diffuse d’une personne à une autre. On parle de marketing viral pour filer la métaphore du virus qui circule dans une population. Les entreprises utilisent également du contenu généré par les utilisateurs pour faire la promotion de leurs produits.
MacrovirusLes macrovirus utilisent le langage de programmation d'un logiciel pour en altérer le fonctionnement. Ils s'attaquent principalement aux fichiers des utilisateurs. Leur expansion est due au fait qu'ils s'intègrent à des fichiers très échangés et que leur programmation est plus facile que celle des virus. Cette suite bureautique est à la fois la plus utilisée et la principale victime des macrovirus. C'est du Visual Basic qui permet d'écrire ces macro-commandes pour Microsoft Word et Microsoft Excel.
