Novel betaherpesviruses and gammaherpesviruses in bats from central China

Scientific Reports
Herpesviruses are large double-stranded DNA viruses that cause infections in animals and humans with a characteristic of latent infectious within specific tissues. Bats are natural hosts of variety human-infecting viruses and recently have been described

Herpesvirus Simplex Virus‐1 Exploits Inflammation to Infect Periodontal Stem Cells and Disrupt Lineage Commitment

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
HSV‐1 infects oral mesenchymal stem cells both in vitro and in vivo to dysregulate their lineage commitment. An inflamed gingival environment increases susceptibility to HSV‐1 infection, which further elevates proinflammatory cytokine levels and exacerbates alveolar bone loss.

Herpesviruses: An In-Depth View [PDF]

Structure, 2010
Transmission electron microscopy of thin sections is the primary means for visualizing structures within cells. In this issue of Structure, Peng et al. extend this approach by using electron tomography to examine the life cycle of a herpesvirus and provide fresh insights into the processes of DNA packaging and release.

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Screening donors for xenotransplantation: The potential for xenozoonoses [PDF]

, 1994
Xenotransplantation is a potential solution to the current donor shortage for solid organ transplantation. The transmission of infectious agents from donor organs or bone marrow to the recipient is a well-recognized phenomenon following ...

The Dental Status of Patients Taking Common Biologic Agents: A Single‐Center Cross‐Sectional Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Despite expanding use and medical applications, little is known about the impact of biologic agents (BAs) on dental treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the dental status of patients on common classes of BAs to understand treatment needs and use in this population.

The strong enhancer element in the immediate early region of the human cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]

, 1985
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-

Prevalence and sequence analysis of equid herpesviruses from the respiratory tract of Polish horses

Virology Journal, 2018
Equid herpesviruses (EHVs) are widespread in equine populations worldwide. While the infection with equine α-herpesviruses (EHV-1 and EHV-4) has been linked to several clinical outcomes, the pathogenic potential for equine γ-herpesviruses (EHV-2 and EHV ...

The relationship between maternal periodontitis and congenital cytomegalovirus: A hypothetical model and therapeutic implications

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The primary goal of periodontology is to prevent tooth loss and reduce the risk of focal infections. Periodontitis lesions can harbor hundreds of thousands of active cytomegaloviruses (virions), which can easily enter the systemic circulation and potentially infect the fetus of a mother with compromised immunity.
