A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

Current In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study MCPyV-Associated MCC

Viruses, 2022
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the only human polyomavirus currently known to cause human cancer. MCPyV is believed to be an etiological factor in at least 80% of cases of the rare but aggressive skin malignancy Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). In these

Molecular and Phylogenetic Characterization of HTLV‐1 Infection in Patients With Hematological Malignancies in the State of Pará, Northern Brazil

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human T‐lymphotropic viruses 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1 and HTLV‐2) were first isolated from patients with hematological malignancies. This study was the first to investigate the frequency of HTLV‐1 and its molecular diversity among patients with hematolymphoid cancers who were treated at a leading reference hospital in Pará, northern Brazil.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma and Immunosuppression, UV Radiation, and Merkel Cell Polyomavirus.

JAMA Dermatol
ImportanceMerkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive skin cancer. Quantifying the contribution of major potentially modifiable risk factors to the burden of MCC may inform prevention efforts.ObjectiveTo estimate the population attributable fraction of MCC cases in the US that were attributable to major immunosuppressing conditions (eg, HIV ...

Antiviral regulator TRIM25 as a prognostic marker of better survival in Merkel cell carcinoma: Association with MCPyV status

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 12, Page 3268-3278, 15 June 2026.
What's new? TRIM25 is known for its role in antiviral immunity and association with poor prognosis in various cancers. This study reveals an association between high TRIM25 expression and Merkel cell polyomavirus positivity in Merkel cell carcinoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma with seborrheic keratosis: A unique association

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2018
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, clinically aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin; MCC is 40 times less common as compared to melanoma. The most frequently reported sites have been the head and neck, extremities, and trunk.

An Accurate Genetic Colocalisation Method for the HLA Locus

HLA, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic colocalisation analyses are frequently conducted to determine if causal signals at a genetic locus are shared between two phenotypes. However, colocalisation is rarely undertaken at the HLA locus, due to its complex linkage disequilibrium (LD) and high polymorphism density.

Incidental Merkel cell carcinoma in a cutaneous horn: a case report.

Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2019
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous neuroendocrine malignancy, which usually presents as an asymptomatic, rapidly growing, firm nodule on sun-damaged skin. We present a 93-year-old female who presented with a “cutaneous horn” on the face.

Neoadjuvant therapy in skin cancer: current evidence and future perspectives

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 454-462, April 2026.
Summary The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies has fundamentally changed the treatment of cutaneous malignancies, especially in squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The latest neoadjuvant approaches have shown promising results in locally advanced stages.

RNA‐Sequencing Reveals Two Subgroups of Eccrine Porocarcinomas and Poromas

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC), a rare malignant eccrine gland tumour, remains molecularly understudied. Transcriptomic studies of EPC and benign eccrine poroma (EP) have identified recurrent fusions and expression changes, but differences distinguishing malignant EPC from benign EP are unclear.
