A functional and structural comparative analysis of large tumor antigens reveals evolution of different importin α-dependent nuclear localization signals. [PDF]
Abstract Nucleocytoplasmic transport regulates the passage of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In the best characterized pathway, importin (IMP) α bridges cargoes bearing basic, classical nuclear localization signals (cNLSs) to IMPβ1, which mediates transport through the nuclear pore complex.

The occurrence of polyomaviruses WUPyV and KIPyV among patients with severe respiratory infections. [PDF]
In 2007, the new polyomaviruses WUPyV and KIPyV were identified in patients with acute respiratory infections. The aim of this study was to investigate these viruses in hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). A retrospective study was conducted with 251 patients, from April 2009 to November 2010, using nasopharyngeal ...

Prevalence of DNA of fourteen human polyomaviruses determined in blood donors. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), like herpesviruses, cause persistent infection in a large part of the population. In immunocompromised and elderly patients, PyVs cause severe diseases such as nephropathy (BK polyomavirus [BKPyV]), progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (JC polyomavirus [JCPyV]), and skin cancer (Merkel cell ...

Serologic Evidence of Frequent Human Infection with WU and KI Polyomaviruses [PDF]
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) and KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) are novel human polyomaviruses. They were originally identified in human respiratory secretions, but the extent of human infection caused by these viruses has not been described to date.

Antibody responses to common viruses according to COVID-19 severity and postacute sequelae of COVID-19 [PDF]
Limited research suggests that certain viruses reactivate in severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus 2 infection, contributing to the development of postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).

Current and Future Point-of-Care Tests for Emerging and New Respiratory Viruses and Future Perspectives [PDF]
The availability of pathogen-specific treatment options for respiratory tract infections (RTIs) increased the need for rapid diagnostic tests. Besides, retrospective studies, improved lab-based detection methods and the intensified search for new viruses

Prevalence of Polyomaviruses in Polish patients [PDF]
The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of new polyomaviruses KIPyV and WUPyV in the Polish population in the Lublin region. In it, we demonstrated that the prevalence of this viruses is low - 1.1% WU and 3.4% KI.

HPyV6 and HPyV7 in urine from immunocompromised patients. [PDF]
Background - Human polyomavirus 6 (HPyV6) and HPyV7 are two of the novel polyomaviruses that were originally detected in non-diseased skin. Serological studies have shown that these viruses are ubiquitous in the healthy adult population with ...

Trichodysplasia spinulosa: a comprehensive review of the disease and its treatment
Abstract Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a rare dermatological disease caused by TS‐associated polyomavirus (TSPyV) in immunosuppressed patients. The seroprevalence of TSPyV in immunocompetent adults is high and the number of immunosuppressed patients developing TS remains low, suggesting that TS is underdiagnosed and/or that additional unknown ...
