Molecular characteristics of avian leukosis viruses isolated from indigenous chicken breeds in China
To assess the status of avian leukosis virus (ALV) infection in indigenous chicken breeds in China, 121 plasma samples collected from various indigenous chicken breeds were tested for the presence of ALV from 2015 to 2016.

Risk of Mortality From Esophageal Cancer Among US Poultry Workers, 1950−2019
ABSTRACT Background While research suggests poultry industry workers have an increased risk of cancer mortality, little is known about their risk of esophageal cancer mortality. We investigated the association between working with poultry and esophageal cancer mortality while concurrently investigating other occupational and nonoccupational risk ...

Abstract EFSA was requested by the European Commission to provide a scientific opinion on new developments in biotechnology, including new genomic techniques, as applied to animals for food, feed and other agricultural uses. A horizon‐scanning exercise identified a variety of animals obtained with new genomic techniques, with the potential to reach the

The extraordinary evolutionary history of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses [PDF]
The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REVs) comprise several closely related amphotropic retroviruses isolated from birds. These viruses exhibit several highly unusual characteristics that have not so far been adequately explained, including their extremely

Intravital Imaging of Immune Responses in the Cancer Microenvironment
ABSTRACT Background To date, many types of immune cells have been identified, but their precise role in cancer immunity remains unclear. Understanding the immune responses involved in cancer and the cancer microenvironment is becoming increasingly important for elucidating disease mechanisms.

Mapping the tail fiber as the receptor binding protein responsible for differential host specificity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages PaP1 and JG004. [PDF]
The first step in bacteriophage infection is recognition and binding to the host receptor, which is mediated by the phage receptor binding protein (RBP). Different RBPs can lead to differential host specificity.

The ageing virus hypothesis: Epigenetic ageing beyond the Tree of Life
Viruses would age when the epigenetic signals they need to carry out their life cycle are degraded. Given the abundance and age of viruses, epigenetic aging of viruses would extend theories on the evolution of aging beyond cellular organisms, and encourage new models of viral dynamics and new anti‐viral therapies.

Prolactin: A Key Immunoregulator in Viral Infections and Autoimmune Diseases
Prolactin (PRL) is secreted by various cells in the anterior pituitary gland, mammary glands, placenta, uterus, ovaries, testes, skin, adipose tissue, endothelial cells, immune system, and central nervous system. The expression and secretion of PRL are influenced by several factors such as suckling, thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH), cytokines ...
