Human cytomegalovirus-encoded microRNAs expression profile in plasma of patients with aortic dissection

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Background Aortic dissection (AD) is a rare disease with high mortality for which no effective diagnostic biomarkers are available. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is an important cause of the occurrence and progression of many diseases, but the ...

Islands of linkage in an ocean of pervasive recombination reveals two-speed evolution of human cytomegalovirus genomes [PDF]

, 2016
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects most of the population worldwide, persisting throughout the host's life in a latent state with periodic episodes of reactivation.

Sex‐Specific Factors Influencing HIV Infection

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Immune responses are key in controlling viral infections such as HIV‐1, which remains a global challenge to public health. X/Y‐chromosome‐encoded genes and sex steroid hormones can modulate immune cells and drive distinct patterns of gene and protein expression involved in antiviral function, impacting sex‐dependent immune responses and ...

The dysregulation of innate immunity by Porphyromonas gingivalis in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 328-348, March 2026.
Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

A Review of Current Computational Tools for Peptide–Protein Docking

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 5, 15 February 2026.
In this review, we compare 14 specialized peptide‐protein docking programs, adaptable small‐molecule docking tools, and emerging AI‐driven approaches. By clarifying how each method works, we offer researchers an accessible guide to selecting the most suitable tools for biochemical studies and peptide‐focused drug discovery.

Impact of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection and its Immune Response on Survival of Patients with Ovarian Cancer

Translational Oncology, 2018
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been detected in various types of tumors. We studied the prevalence of HCMV in ovarian cancer and its relation to clinical outcome. Paraffin-embedded tissues obtained prospectively from 45 patients with ovarian cancer and

Immunization with Human Cytomegalovirus Core Fusion Machinery and Accessory Envelope Proteins Elicit Strong Synergistic Neutralizing Activities

Vaccines, 2020
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) core fusion machinery proteins gB and gH/gL, and accessory proteins UL128/UL130/UL131A, are the key envelope proteins that mediate HCMV entry into and infection of host cells. To determine whether these HCMV envelope proteins

Safety and Efficacy of Adoptive Transfer of Stem Cell Memory Enriched Virus Specific T Cells against CMV and EBV

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
This study finds that CD8⁺ TSCM cells exhibit superior self‐renewal, differentiation, and antiviral activity. Transcriptome and epigenome analyses highlight MAPK cascade regulation in TSCM cells. In vivo, virus‐specific TSCM cells show enhanced persistence and tumor protection.

Understanding HCMV Latency Using Unbiased Proteomic Analyses

Pathogens, 2020
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes either a latent (non-productive) or lytic (productive) infection depending upon cell type, cytokine milieu and the differentiation status of the infected cell. Undifferentiated cells, such as precursor cells of the myeloid lineage, support a latent infection whereas terminally differentiated cells, such as ...
