Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

73
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.7K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Retrovirus Life Cycles01:10

Retrovirus Life Cycles

50.9K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Retroviruses02:33

Retroviruses

16.3K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.7K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Virology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) initially described in 1872 as an aggressive skin tumor.
  • KS evolved in perception to a slow-growing tumor in elderly men, often not the cause of death.
  • Disease presentation and progression showed significant variability across clinical settings.

Observation:

  • The complexity of KS became apparent with its association with the AIDS epidemic.
  • Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) was identified in 1994, offering new insights.
  • Recent research in the journal Viruses highlights progress in KSHV understanding.

Findings:

  • Advances in understanding Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) have been made.
  • The articles review the progress in KSHV research since its 1994 description.
  • This research is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of KS.

Implications:

  • Improved comprehension of KSHV is vital for managing Kaposi's sarcoma.
  • Further research may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for KS patients.
  • Understanding KSHV's role can impact the broader field of viral oncology.
