Epigenetic motifs distinguishing endogenous from exogenous retroviral integrants
Retroviruses are subject to epigenetic regulation by the host genome after integrating, similar to vertebrate genes. However, their patterns of integration, and therefore their likely epigenetic regulation, differ between genera.

Skeletal muscle cells lacking the retinoblastoma protein display defects in muscle gene expression and accumulate in S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. [PDF]
Viral oncoproteins that inactivate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) family both block skeletal muscle differentiation and promote cell cycle progression.

TRIM28-Regulated Transposon Repression Is Required for Human Germline Competency and Not Primed or Naive Human Pluripotency. [PDF]
Transition from primed to naive pluripotency is associated with dynamic changes in transposable element (TE) expression and demethylation of imprinting control regions (ICRs).

Characterization of the human endogenous retrovirus K proteinase
The proteinase of the human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) shows similarity to retrovirus aspartic proteinases. It is translated from a transcript composed of gag and prt. The proteinase was expressed either as full-length native protein or as truncated protein in Escherichia coli.

There is global immunosuppression during CML initiation and progression, which is directly driven by BCR–ABL1 expressing CML cells. On one hand, the BCR–ABL1 oncogene drives the differentiation of leukemia cells toward the neutrophil lineage. On the other hand, the oncogene also transcriptionally activates master immune regulators, including arginase ...

Indirect induction of radiation lymphomas in mice. Evidence for a novel, transmissible leukemogen. [PDF]
The transmission of a lymphomagenic agent(s) from the bone marrow of irradiated mice to thymic target cells has been demonstrated by: (a) the induction of T cell lymphomas in nonirradiated thymic grafts implanted in irradiated, Thy-l-congenic mice, (b ...

Disruption of fusion results in mitochondrial heterogeneity and dysfunction [PDF]
Mitochondria undergo continual cycles of fusion and fission, and the balance of these opposing processes regulates mitochondrial morphology. Paradoxically, cells invest many resources to maintain tubular mitochondrial morphology, when reducing both ...

Increases in sphingomyelin in response to TDP‐43 pathology in the disease‐affected motor cortex of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) brain. Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons and the presence of TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43 ...

Definition and variation of human endogenous retrovirus H
We defined the abundant human endogenous retrovirus group HERV-H based on pol similarity. Among 3661 pol-containing elements, 1124 integrations were similar to HERV-H RGH2 pol using translated pol sequences. A clustering procedure lessened these to 234 representatives, amenable to detailed study.

Xenoperfusion—The Transformative Role of Machine Perfusion in Xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Recent advances in xenotransplantation have gained substantial public and clinical attention as genetically modified porcine organs are now being transplanted into living human recipients. While only case reports have been published to date, the first clinical trials for kidney xenotransplantation are now ongoing.
