Estrogen receptor (ER)-beta isoforms: a key to understanding ER-beta signaling.

abstract：:Dengue virus (DENV) is the most prevalent human vector-borne viral disease. The force of infection (FoI), the rate at which susceptible individuals are infected in a population, is an important metric for infectious disease modeling. Understanding how and why the FoI of DENV changes over time is critical for developin...
