SEATTLE — The genetic vulnerability to psoriasis and related autoimmune diseases may be traceable to evolutionary pressure to resist ancient infections by retroviruses. The theory is that variations ...

Intensive research is being carried out to enable the transplantation of organs from specially bred pigs to humans. However, the pig genome contains the genomes of various endogenous retroviruses ...

Using a next generation sequencing analysis to examine human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) integration sites, researchers from Kumamoto University, the National Institute of Genetics (Japan), and the ...

Joint Research Center for Human Retrovirus Infection has the following research output in the current window (1 November 2024 - 31 October 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of ...

Vertebrate genomes are repositories for retrovirus code that was deposited into germ line as inherited endogenous retroviruses during evolution. Researchers from Uppsala University and Princeton ...

In 2020, the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) was the first scientific conference to move from in-person to virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the fifth anniversary ...

The median length of survival after diagnosis of glioblastoma is 14 months, but some of these brain tumors are more aggressive and resistant to treatment than others, and a new study from Sylvester ...

The study of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) and its causative agent, Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV), continues to be a dynamic and interdisciplinary field. OPA is a contagious lung cancer ...

Infectious risk is a function of the infectious exposures of the source animal (swine) and the xenograft recipient, as well as the nature and intensity of the immunosuppressive therapy required to ...

Exploring caregiver dependence and social determinants of health reveals critical barriers to HIV care for children, impacting treatment adherence and access, explains Priscilla Tsondai, MD, MPH.

Many types of animals, including humans, successfully coexist with retroviruses, and we know that ancient retrovirus viral elements can even be found within our genome. We also know that these ...
