The strong enhancer element in the immediate early region of the human cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus group, was found to possess a strong transcription enhancer in the immediate early gene region. Co-transfection of enhancerless SV40 DNA with randomly fragmented HCMV DNA yielded two SV40-

Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP‐7) is a novel target for anticancer therapy. To further extend the structure–activity relationships of the previously USP‐7 inhibitor STIRUR‐41, a library of 5‐aminopyrazoles is reported. 1d shows a potency comparable to lead compound STIRUR‐41 and promising in silico and in vitro pharmacokinetic properties ...

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Investigating the mechanisms of capsicum in age‐related hearing loss: Based on network pharmacology
Abstract Background To explore the material basis and action mechanism of the chemical component gene of pepper on presbycusis, and to provide a reference for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of age‐related hearing loss (ARHL). Methods The chemical composition and action targets of traditional Chinese medicine flavor of pepper were searched ...

ERK1/2 and MEK1/2 Induced by Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (Human Herpesvirus 8) Early during Infection of Target Cells Are Essential for Expression of Viral Genes and for Establishment of Infection [PDF]
ABSTRACT Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in vitro target cell infection is characterized by the expression of the latency-associated genes ORF 73 (LANA-1), ORF 72, and K13 and by the transient expression of a very limited number of lytic genes such as lytic cycle switch gene ORF 50 (RTA) and the immediate early (IE) lytic K5 ...

Current Progress in Targeting Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
This review highlights recent advances in the mechanisms by which human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) maintains its genome in infected cells, as well as the cellular factors and viral antigens that modulate viral reactivation, which reveal potential targets for addressing HCMV infection.

Atomic structures and deletion mutant reveal different capsid-binding patterns and functional significance of tegument protein pp150 in murine and human cytomegaloviruses with implications for therapeutic development. [PDF]
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes birth defects and life-threatening complications in immunosuppressed patients. Lack of vaccine and need for more effective drugs have driven widespread ongoing therapeutic development efforts against human CMV (HCMV)

Clinical Significance of Plasma and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell EBV‐DNA in Lymphoma
Both plasma and PBMC EBV‐DNA can be used to evaluate the prognosis of lymphoma patients. However, plasma EBV‐DNA excels in efficacy monitoring while PBMC EBV‐DNA offers superior prognostic value. Therefore, appropriate sample type could be selected based on clinical scenario.
