The Inflammatory Kinase MAP4K4 Promotes Reactivation of Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpesvirus and Enhances the Invasiveness of Infected Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a mesenchymal tumour, which is caused by Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) and develops under inflammatory conditions. KSHV-infected endothelial spindle cells, the neoplastic cells in KS, show increased invasiveness, attributed

Neuroinflammation as a result of non‐neurotropic herpesvirus infection
Atypical memory B cells (ABCs) might stimulate autoreactive T cells to cause neuroinflammation and CNS myeloid cell activation during MS. Abstract The non‐neurotropic Epstein Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested to initiate the prodromal phase of multiple sclerosis (MS), often years before the first clinical symptoms. This review discusses mechanisms by

Macrophages drive KSHV B cell latency
Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes lifelong infection and persists in latently infected B cells. Paradoxically, in vitro B cell infection is inefficient, and cells rapidly die, suggesting the absence of necessary factor(s). KSHV epidemiology unexpectedly mirrors that of malaria and certain helminthic infections, while other herpesviruses ...

Disease Progression Mediated by Egr-1 Associated Signaling in Response to Oxidative Stress [PDF]
When cellular reducing enzymes fail to shield the cell from increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress arises. The redox state is misbalanced, DNA and proteins are damaged and cellular transcription networks are activated.

The Role of Viruses in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the presence and potential pathogenic role of viruses in periodontitis. Design: Narrative Review; Population: Patients with periodontitis; Exposure: Detection of viruses in oral samples (biopsies, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, blood); Outcome: Viral prevalence, load ...

Age of Infection with Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Subsequent Antibody Values Among Children in Uganda. [PDF]
We investigated associations between Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) seroconversion age and KSHV antibody values in Ugandan children. Every annual delay in KSHV seroconversion age was associated with a reduction of 19% (P < 0.0001) in K8.1 ...

HHV‐8/KSHV in Solid Organ Transplantation: Current Gaps of Knowledge and Future Directions
Risk mitigation strategies, including donors/recipients screening, DNAemia monitoring in recipients at risk, CNI‐to‐mTOR inhibitors switch, antivirals, and rituximab for KICS, may mitigate the impact of HHV‐8/KSHV infection in SOT. This review provides an update on KICS, identifies research gaps, and summarizes advances in screening and management ...

Study of variable stars in the MOA data base: long-period red variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
One hundred and forty six long-period red variable stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from the three year MOA project database were analysed. A careful periodic analysis was performed on these stars and a catalogue of their magnitudes, colours ...

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Viral Infection and Immunology
LLPS organizes viral replication and antiviral immunity. Viruses hijack LLPS to form replication factories and evade immune sensors, while hosts assemble LLPS‐driven signaling hubs (e.g., MAVS, RIG‐I, and SGs) to amplify interferon responses. Targeting these condensate interfaces offers novel therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases ...
