Trichodysplasia spinulosa: A rare complication of immunosuppression [PDF]
JAAD Case Reports, 2016 Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a recently described rare disease of immunosuppressed patients characterized by folliculocentric papules and keratin spicules. The condition is highly associated with the TS-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV); however, the causal mechanism remains undiscovered.

Characterization of ALTO-encoding circular RNAs expressed by Merkel cell polyomavirus and trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a conserved class of RNAs with diverse functions, including serving as messenger RNAs that are translated into peptides. Here we describe circular RNAs generated by human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), some of which encode variants ...
