Vaccine escape is the term used to describe the process of a virus mutating to form a variant that evades the immune response induced by vaccination. This process is rare, but occurrence depends on factors such as therapeutic targets and viral mutation rates. 2, record 1, English, - vaccine%20escape

Pour parler d’échappement vaccinal stricto sensu, il faut que l’infection survienne au moins deux semaines après l’administration de la deuxième dose d’un vaccin à ARNm. Rien de surprenant, puisqu’il n’a jamais été clamé que l’efficacité vaccinale était de 100 %. Plusieurs questions légitimes se posent néanmoins : Les patients "victimes" d’un échappement vaccinal présentent-ils des particularités communes? Quel est leur profil démographique et clinique ? Quel est le pronostic de la Covid-19 dans ce cas précis, notamment quand une hospitalisation est nécessaire ? 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chappement%20vaccinal

GDNF increases motoneuron survival and cell number, neurite outgrowth and choline acethyltransferase(ChAT) activity(Henderson et al., 1994). The motoneurons can also be rescued from axotomy-induced or natural cell death by GDNF in mouse, rat and avian models(Henderson et al., 1994; Oppenheim et al., 1995). This response is not limited to developing motor neurons, but is also seen in the neurons of adult animals(Li et al., 1995; Yan et al., 1995) supporting the idea of the applicability of GDNF as a potential therapeutic agent in motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS), spinal muscular atrophy or in ischemic and mechanic injuries of the spinal cord. 1, record 7, English, - choline%20acethyltransferase
