Cardiac pathology and molecular epidemiology by avian leukosis viruses in Japan. [PDF]
Epidemiological studies suggest that retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1, are associated with cardiomyopathy and myocarditis, but a causal relationship remains to be established.

Identification of Cables1 as a critical host factor that promotes ALV-J replication via genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout screening. [PDF]
Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), a member of the genus Alpharetrovirus, possesses a small genome and exploits a vast array of host factors during its replication cycle. To identify host factors required for ALV-J replication and potentially guide

Infectious retrovirus particles contain two copies of unspliced viral RNA that serve as the viral genome. Unspliced retroviral RNA is transcribed in the nucleus by the host RNA polymerase II and has three potential fates: (1) it can be spliced into ...

Functional and structural characterization of the integrase from the prototype foamy virus
Establishment of the stable provirus is an essential step in retroviral replication, orchestrated by integrase (IN), a virus-derived enzyme. Until now, available structural information was limited to the INs of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1),

Protease-mediated maturation of M-PMV reverse transcriptase into a functional heterodimer. [PDF]
Abstract Reverse transcriptase (RT) of retroviruses orchestrates viral replication, yet its structural diversity remains poorly understood. Well‐studied RTs, such as those from HIV‐1, murine leukemia virus, and avian myeloblastosis virus, were characterized decades ago, but less prominent retroviruses have escaped detailed analysis.

Differential Sensitivities of Retroviruses to Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
Integrase inhibitors are emerging anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drugs, and multiple retroviruses and transposable elements were evaluated here for susceptibilities to raltegravir (RAL) and elvitegravir (EVG).

Abstract Mammalian endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviruses that have been integrated into genomes. ERVs were believed to be inactive until the discovery of ERV transcription in the mouse genome. However, the transcription level and function of ERV elements in mammalian genomes are not well understood.

CAR‐NK cells: the next wave of cellular therapy for cancer
NK cells can be derived from various sources (PB, UCB, HSC, iPSC, NK cell lines) and can be engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target various surface antigens on cancer cells. These CAR‐NK cells can be used as off‐the‐shelf adoptive cellular therapy to treat patients with various malignancies.

Gene Therapy for Primary Immunodeficiency
Over the past 3 decades, there has been significant progress in refining gene therapy technologies and procedures. Transduction of hematopoietic stem cells ex vivo using lentiviral vectors can now create a highly effective therapeutic product, capable of reconstituting many different immune system dysfunctions when reinfused into patients.
