Researchers report in the journal Cell that ancient viruses may be to thank for myelin—and, by extension, our large, complex ...

How did viruses evolve? Are they a streamlined form of something that existed long ago, or an ultimate culmination of smaller genetic elements joined together?

Scientists have uncovered a link between ancient viral elements embedded in human DNA and the genetic risk for two major ...

The envelope regions were shuffled to generate a recombinant library of 5 × 10 6 replication-competent retroviruses. This library was subjected to the concentration process three consecutive ...

Retroviruses are a sub-category of oncoviruses that include the lentiviruses. Retroviruses are negative single-stranded RNA viruses in which tRNA serves as a primer for the mRNA synthesis. The mRNA is ...

Dr. Michael Emerman studies how our cells interact with HIV and related retroviruses. Over millennia, our cells and the cells of other primates that are susceptible to retrovirus infection have ...

耶鲁大学医学院Akiko Iwasaki团队在Science Immunology上发表题为"A B cell screen against endogenous retroviruses identifies glycan-reactive IgM that recognizes a broad array of enveloped viruses的研究论文。该研究通过开发创新性的抗原诱饵策略， ...
