Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

What's new? While estrogens, obesity, and alcohol are recognized risk factors for breast cancer, a viral hypothesis has been suggested based on the murine model of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV)‐induced mammary tumors. This study analyzed sequences of the human homolog of MMTV across human breast carcinoma histotypes, detecting the virus in all types

Chapter 19 Human herpesvirus-6 and HIV-1 infection
Publisher Summary Since the discovery of HHV-6, attempts have been made to determine what role it plays in the progressive destruction of the immune system by the HIV-1 virus. Studies have been equally disappointing in helping to define the role of HHV-6 in HIV-1 infections. Studies have shown that HHV-6 and HIV-1 could infect the same cell.

Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

Immunosenescence and Inflammaging in Dogs and Cats: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT A consistent and important feature of biological aging is the change in the types and functions of cells comprising the immune system. Across various mammalian species, this change follows consistent patterns, including diminished protective capacity, leading to increased vulnerability to infectious disease, and increased low‐grade chronic ...
