BK Polyomavirus in Pediatric Renal Transplantation—What We Know and What We Do Not

Biomedicines
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is still a real threat in the management of kidney transplantation. Immunosuppressive treatment disrupts the equilibrium between virus replication and immune response, and uncontrolled BKPyV replication leads to nephropathy (BKPyV

Model of the roles of the DDR during BKPyV infection.

, 2012
(A) Upon BKPyV infection, both the ATM- and ATR-mediated DDR are activated. ATM mainly contributes to the activation of pChk2, whereas ATR mainly activates pChk1. Both ATM and ATR contribute to BKPyV DNA replication and infectious progeny production. ATR

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

Pre-Transplantation Assessment of BK Virus Serostatus: Significance, Current Methods, and Obstacles

Viruses, 2019
The immunosuppression required for graft tolerance in kidney transplant patients can trigger latent BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) reactivation, and the infection can progress to nephropathy and graft rejection.

Chk1 and the Host Cell DNA Damage Response as a Potential Antiviral Target in BK Polyomavirus Infection

Viruses, 2021
The human BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is latent in the kidneys of most adults, but can be reactivated in immunosuppressed states, such as following renal transplantation.

Urologic Bacteriome: The Hero or the Villain in Prostate Cancer Onset, Progression, and Treatment?

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1111-1151, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide and the fifth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, presenting urgent unmet clinical needs in diagnosis and treatment. The recognition of the microbiome as a key factor in human health has prompted numerous studies, revealing an exciting new approach to ...

Seroprevalence of polyomaviruses BK and JC in Finnish women and their spouses followed-up for three years

Scientific Reports, 2023
BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV) polyomavirus infections are commonly subclinical and known infrequently to cause serious clinical diseases. Longitudinal follow-up studies regarding JCPyV and BKPyV serological outcomes are scanty.

From Data to Decisions: How Machine Learning and Generative Artificial Intelligence Are Redefining Precision Medicine in Kidney Transplantation

Organ Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 102-118, June 2026.
This review evaluates how machine learning, multimodal integration, and generative AI optimize kidney transplant outcomes. These tools enable superior prediction and personalized therapy but face hurdles in data volume, generalizability, and ethics. Future clinical adoption depends on continued innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration to overcome

Structural implications of BK polyomavirus sequence variations in the major viral capsid protein Vp1 and large T-antigen: a computational study

mSphere
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a double-stranded DNA virus causing nephropathy, hemorrhagic cystitis, and urothelial cancer in transplant patients. The BKPyV-encoded capsid protein Vp1 and large T-antigen (LTag) are key targets of neutralizing antibodies and

JC Polyomavirus Infection of Primary Human Renal Epithelial Cells Is Controlled by a Type I IFN-Induced Response

mBio, 2016
The JC and BK human polyomaviruses (JCPyV and BKPyV, respectively) establish lifelong persistent infections in the kidney. In immunosuppressed individuals, JCPyV causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal neurodegenerative disease ...
