Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects. [PDF]
, 2016 Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

Cancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 2, Page 513-523, February 2025.We analyzed and evaluated cells infected with human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 at different stages of infection in terms of gene expression and chromatin structure using ATAC sequencing and RNA sequencing. Our results revealed that infected cells exhibited significant changes in gene expression patterns from the polyclonal stage and before adult T ...

A State‐of‐the‐Art Review on the Recent Advances in Exosomes in Oncogenic Virus
Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2024.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Oncogenic viruses are responsible for approximately 12% of human malignancies, influencing various cancer processes through intricate interactions with host cells. Exosomes (EXOs), nanometric‐sized microvesicles involved in cell communication, have emerged as critical mediators in these interactions.

Status of soluble ST2 levels in serum of HTLV-1 infected individuals [PDF]
, 2015 ST2 is a member of IL-1 receptor family expressed on Th2 cells and regulates Th2 responces. The gene of ST2 encodes soluble ST2 (sST2) and the transmembrane ST2 (ST2L) isoforms through alternative mRNA splicing.

Molecular Informatics, Volume 43, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Multiherbal medicines are traditionally used as personalized medicines with custom combinations of crude drugs; however, the mechanisms of multiherbal medicines are unclear. In this study, we developed a novel pathway‐based method to predict therapeutic effects and the mode of action of custom‐made multiherbal medicines using machine learning.

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 119, Issue 11, Page 1166-1173, November 2024.Abstract Background and Objectives South Africa has a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) and to a lesser extent human T‐lymphotropic virus (HTLV). Each of these agents is transfusion‐transmissible (TT) but deciding whether to implement preventive screening depends upon knowledge of background prevalence in
