Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with several malignancies and autoimmune diseases in humans. The following EBV infection and establishment of latency, recurrences frequently occur resulting in potential viral DNA shedding, which

Epstein-Barr virus-positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases in children and adolescents [PDF]
In primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the virus may infect T-cells or natural killer (NK)-cells and can cause T- and NK-cell (T/NK-cell) lymphoproliferative disease, which encompasses several disease entities with a broad clinicopathological ...

A systematic review of the impact of psychosocial factors on immunity: Implications for enhancing BCG response against tuberculosis. [PDF]
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an urgent global public health priority, causing 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2018. There is evidence that psychosocial factors modulate immune function; however, how this may influence TB risk or BCG vaccine ...

Bortezomib promotes KHSV and EBV lytic cycle by activating JNK and autophagy [PDF]
KSHV and EBV are gammaherpesviruses strictly linked to human cancers. Even if the majority of cancer cells harbor a latent infection, the few cells that undergo viral replication may contribute to the pathogenesis and maintenance of the virus-associated ...

The activation of KSHV lytic cycle blocks autophagy in PEL cells [PDF]
This study confirms that autophagy is activated concomitantly with KSHV lytic cycle induction, and that autophagy inhibition by BECN1 knockdown reduces viral lytic gene expression.

Statistical properties of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures in viral genomes
By performing a comprehensive study on 1832 segments of 1212 complete genomes of viruses, we show that in viral genomes the hairpin structures of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures are more abundant than expected under a simple random ...

Sensitive and Rapid Dual One-Tube Recombinase Aided PCR Assays for the Simultaneous Detection of Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr Virus, Human Herpesvirus 6, and Herpes Simplex Virus 1/2 in Whole Blood From Children Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Early, rapid, and sensitive detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6), and herpes simplex virus Types 1/2 (HSV‐1/2) is critical for improving clinical outcomes in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Movement Disorders in Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome and Response to Immunomodulation
ABSTRACT This study characterizes movement disorders and treatment responses in seven children with Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively evaluated motor phenotypes, neuroimaging, and interferon signatures in patients treated with baricitinib or anifrolumab. Spasticity affected all patients, while dystonia was present in 4/7.

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes. [PDF]
Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in
