Pioneer factors in viral infection
Pioneer factors are transcription factors sharing the fascinating ability to bind to compact chromatin and thereby alter its transcriptional fate. Most pioneer factors are known for their importance during embryonic development, for instance, in inducing

Pathogenesis and virulence of herpes simplex virus
Two of the most prevalent human viruses worldwide, herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively), cause a variety of diseases, including cold sores, genital herpes, herpes stromal keratitis, meningitis and encephalitis.

Herpes Simplex Virus Cell Entry Mechanisms: An Update
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can infect a broad host range and cause mild to life threating infections in humans. The surface glycoproteins of HSV are evolutionarily conserved and show an extraordinary ability to bind more than one receptor on the host ...

Seroprevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus type-1antibodies (IgM,IgG) in smokers in Kirkuk city-Iraq
Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1) is classified in the α-herpes virus group of the Herpesviridae and HSV-1 infections are very common in the human population. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of anti-herpes simplex virus type-

Relationship Between Pemphigus Vulgaris Severity and PCR-positive Herpes Simplex Virus
Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune skin disease. Although herpes simplex virus has been associated with autoimmune diseases, evidence regarding its association with pemphigus vulgaris exacerbations is scarce. This retrospective cohort study aimed to

HSV-1 genome subnuclear positioning and associations with host-cell PML-NBs and centromeres regulate LAT locus transcription during latency in neurons. [PDF]
Major human pathologies are caused by nuclear replicative viruses establishing life-long latent infection in their host. During latency the genomes of these viruses are intimately interacting with the cell nucleus environment.

CNS infections caused by human herpesvirus 1 and human herpesvirus 2-herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes simplex virus type 2--are reviewed. The major diseases associated with these viruses are meningitis and encephalitis. Two forms of encephalitis are known, neonatal encephalitis and encephalitis occurring after the neonatal period.

Regulation of alphaherpesvirus infections by the ICP0 family of proteins [PDF]
Immediate-early protein ICP0 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is important for the regulation of lytic and latent viral infection. Like the related proteins expressed by other alphaherpesviruses, ICP0 has a zinc-stabilized RING finger domain that ...
