ABSTRACT It is believed that human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)‐W plays a fundamental role in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis, probably by inducing humoral and cellular immunopathological response. HERVs present regions of similarity to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and therefore could induce autoimmunity through the mechanism of ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

MASH1 activates expression of the paired homeodomain transcription factor Phox2a, and couples pan-neuronal and subtype-specific components of autonomic neuronal identity [PDF]
We have investigated the genetic circuitry underlying the determination of neuronal identity, using mammalian peripheral autonomic neurons as a model system.

Retrotransposable element (RTE) expression increases with chronological and biological age and is negatively associated with heterochromatin regulators. Moreover, RTE expression shows sex‐specific differences, with higher levels in men and enrichment for immune‐related pathways.

Identification of a novel retroviral gene unique to human immunodeficiency virus type 2 and simian immunodeficiency virus SIVMAC [PDF]
Human and simian immunodeficiency-associated retroviruses are extraordinarily complex, containing at least five genes, tat, art, sor, R, and 3' orf, in addition to the structural genes gag, pol, and env.

hTERT Increases TRF2 to Induce Telomere Compaction and Extend Cell Replicative Lifespan
In contrast to the dogma that a subset of short telomeres initiates senescence, hTERT variants unable to maintain telomere length block senescence by stabilizing TRF2 via inhibiting upstream E3 ubiquitin ligases. This noncanonical hTERT function also compacts telomeres and blocks senescence‐associated DNA damage signaling. Cancer cells expressing hTERT

Generation of Transgenic Mice to Evaluate Promoter Activity and Specificity of Two Human Endogenous Retrovirus Long Terminal Repeats = Untersuchungen zur Promotor-Aktivität und -Spezifität von zwei Long Terminal Repeats humaner endogener Retroviren in transgenen Mäusen [PDF]
Generation of Transgenic Mice to Evaluate Promoter Activity and Specificity of two Human Endogenous Retrovirus Long Terminal Repeats Human Endogenous Retrovirus Long Terminal Repeats (HERV-LTRs) comprise 1.8% of the human genome (52.7 Mb).
