Retroviruses infect a broad range of vertebrate hosts that includes amphibians, reptiles, fish,
birds and mammals. In addition, a typical vertebrate genome contains thousands of loci …

In humans, retroviruses thrive more as symbionts than as parasites. Apart from the only two
modern exogenous human retroviruses (human T-cell lymphotropic and immunodeficiency …

Although endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are known to harbor cis-regulatory elements,
their role in modulating cellular immune responses remains poorly understood. Using an …

Although human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent a substantial proportion of the
human genome and some HERVs, such as HERV-K (HML-2), are reported to be involved in …

Cancer incidence and mortality, metastasis, drug resistance and recurrence are still the
critical issues of oncological diseases. In this scenario, increasing scientific evidences …

The human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) is the most recently acquired endogenous
retrovirus in the human genome and is activated and expressed in many cancers and …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections that
are part the human genome and are normally silenced through epigenetic mechanisms …

Despite remarkable progress, a cure for HIV-1 infection remains elusive. Rebound
competent latent and transcriptionally active reservoir cells persevere despite antiretroviral …

Being responsible for almost 12% of cancers worldwide, viruses are among the oldest
known and most prevalent oncogenic agents. The quality of the evidence for the in vivo …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), the remains of retroviruses infection in our
ancestors' germline cell over millions of years, take up about 8% of the human genome in …
