One-time surgical application of genetically engineered autologous keratinocyte sheets provides significant closure and pain ...

For instance, viruses with low Rev activity have a disadvantage in both replication and reactivation. These findings help explain why HIV persists despite aggressive treatment. Researchers say to ...

A major disadvantage of murine leukemia virus-based retroviral vectors is the fact that they are able to transduce only proliferating cells.

Overexpression of HERV‐R inhibits SARS‐CoV‐2 replication, suggesting its antiviral activity. Further analyses demonstrate the role of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) in regulating HERV ...

Shi M, Wang X, De Clercq E, Takao S, Baba M. Selective inhibition of porcine endogenous retrovirus replication in human cells by acyclic nucleoside phosphonates.

The result of this research, highly active anti-retroviral therapy, or HAART, has saved millions of lives and turned a once-seemingly undefeatable pandemic into a manageable chronic disease. Combating ...

A next-generation sequence analysis of human endogenous retrovirus integration sites has revealed that ancient retroviral genes are expressed in early embryos, cancer stem cells and induced ...

Although retroviruses are known to have a major global impact on human health, the zoonotic potential of bat retroviruses is currently unknown.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), via integration into the host genome, represent genetic remnants of ancient retroviral infections. Both show similar epigenetic silencing while dormant, but can ...
