Molecular mimicry, genetic homology, and gene sharing proteomic “molecular fingerprints” using an EBV (Epstein-Barr virus)-derived microarray as a potential diagnostic method in autoimmune disease [PDF]
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) and other human DNA viruses are associated with autoimmune syndromes in epidemiologic studies. In this work, immunoglobulin G response to EBV-encoded proteins which share regions with human immune response proteins from the human

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Mechanism of DNA Recognition at a Viral Replication Origin [PDF]
Recognition of the DNA origin by the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein is the primary event in latentphase genome replication of the Epstein-Barr virus, a model for replication initiation in eukaryotes.

The IQ‐compete assay for measuring mitochondrial protein import efficiencies in living yeast cells
The efficiency of mitochondrial protein import depends on the properties of the newly synthesized precursor proteins. The Import and de‐Quenching Competition (IQ‐compete) assay is a novel method to monitor the import efficiency of different proteins by fluorescence in living yeast cells.

Some bacterial and viral DNA sequences have been found to induce low frequency electromagnetic waves in high aqueous dilutions. This phenomenon appears to be triggered by the ambient electromagnetic background of very low frequency.

cGAS senses viral DNA and forms cytosolic cGAS-DNA granules to mediate anti-DNA viral signaling pathway. Here the authors show that PCBP2 interacts with cGAS and antagonizes condensation of cGAS-DNA granules, thus maintaining host immune homeostasis.

Nuclear Import of Viral DNA Genomes [PDF]
The genomes of many viruses traffic into the nucleus, where they are either integrated into host chromosomes or maintained as episomal DNA and then transcriptionally activated or silenced. Here, we discuss the existing evidence on how the lentiviruses, adenoviruses, herpesviruses, hepadnaviruses and autonomous parvoviruses enter the nucleus.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Association of mutations in the basal core promoter and pre-core regions of the hepatitis B viral genome and longitudinal changes in HBV level in HBEAG negative individuals: Results from a cohort study in northern Iran [PDF]
Background: Although certain HBV mutations are known to affect the expression of Hepatitis e antigen, their association with HBV viral level or clinical outcomes is less clear.
