Structure and Antigenicity of Kaposi's Sarcoma‐Associated Herpesvirus Glycoprotein B
Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) causes severe cancers without effective treatments. This study presents an atomic model of KSHV's critical infection protein, gB, revealing a unique structure shared with related herpesviruses like Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV). The structural similarity highlights vulnerable targets for antibodies, guiding the

Early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of central nervous system infections are critical. This study introduces a deep‐learning model utilizing cerebrospinal fluid immune‐cell morphology captured via 3D holotomography. The model effectively predicts infection etiology and prognosis, achieving high accuracy.

ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of psychosis, thought disorder, and flattened affect. Immune mechanisms are associated with schizophrenia, though the precise nature of this relationship (causal, correlated, consequential) and the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.

Risk factors for high anti-HHV-8 antibody titers (≥1:51,200) in black, HIV-1 negative South African cancer patients: a case control study [PDF]
Background: Infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the necessary causal agent in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Infection with HIV-1, male gender and older age all increase risk for KS.

Objective The sparse effector “omnigenic” hypothesis postulates that the polygenic effects of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a typical complex trait are mediated by trans effects that coalesce on expression of a relatively sparse set of core genes.

Further strategies for evaluating the etiological role of a tumor-associated herpesvirus in marine turtle fibropapillomatosis [PDF]
In 1992, an interdisciplinary research team headquartered at the University of Florida began studies in key targeted areas of fibropapillomatosis (FP) etiology and pathogenesis.
