Designer DNA nanostructures for viral inhibition [PDF]
Nature Protocols, 2022 Emerging viral diseases can substantially threaten national and global public health. Central to our ability to successfully tackle these diseases is the need to quickly detect the causative virus and neutralize it efficiently. Here we present the rational design of DNA nanostructures to inhibit dengue virus infection.

Dangerous Liaisons: Long-Term Replication with an Extrachromosomal HPV Genome
Viruses, 2021 Papillomaviruses cause persistent, and usually self-limiting, infections in the mucosal and cutaneous surfaces of the host epithelium. However, in some cases, infection with an oncogenic HPV can lead to cancer.

SV40 utilizes ATM kinase activity to prevent non-homologous end joining of broken viral DNA replication products. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Simian virus 40 (SV40) and cellular DNA replication rely on host ATM and ATR DNA damage signaling kinases to facilitate DNA repair and elicit cell cycle arrest following DNA damage.

Cellular Sensing of Viral DNA and Viral Evasion Mechanisms [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2014 Mammalian cells detect foreign DNA introduced as free DNA or as a result of microbial infection, leading to the induction of innate immune responses that block microbial replication and the activation of mechanisms that epigenetically silence the genes encoded by the foreign DNA.

Parvovirus b19 DNA CpG dinucleotide methylation and epigenetic regulation of viral expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 CpG DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic modifications playing a role in the control of gene expression. For DNA viruses whose genome has the ability to integrate in the host genome or to maintain as a latent episome, a correlation has been ...

Viral DNA Polymerase Inhibitors [PDF]
, 2009 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009. All rights reserved. DNA viruses, as well as their host cells, require a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase to faithfully replicate their genomes. Viruses with small DNA genomes, such as papillomaviruses and polyomaviruses, have a limited coding capacity and utilize mainly the host replication machinery for their ...

Responsiveness to basement membrane extract as a possible trait for tumorigenicity characterization
Vaccine: X, 2019 Immortalized cell lines used to produce vaccines are expected to be described in terms of their tumorigenicity. However, current in vivo tumorigenicity assays can be time-consuming and results can be equivocal, especially for weakly tumorigenic cells ...
