Studies on the interaction of HSV-1 multifunctional protein ICP27 with the nuclear pore complex proteins
Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) ICP27 is a multifunctional immediate early (IE) protein, required for expression of several early and late genes and acts at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. ICP27 contains both a nuclear localization signal and a nuclear export signal and shuttles …

Characterisation of mucosal tissue in the foreskin after voluntary medical male circumcision
… sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) -2 and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) by 25% and 35% respectively. Asymptomatic STIs may elevate the risk of HIV-1 acquisition by recruiting HIV-1 target cells to the foreskin. The higher permeability of the inner foreskin may …

Investigation of Infectious Disease Associations with Cognitive Impairment using Electronic Medical Records
… between six clinically important infections—Herpes simplex virus (HSV), syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—and subsequent cognitive impairment. On June 12, 2025, we queried the global TriNetX …

Identification and characterization of low pH-triggered conformational changes in the herpes simplex virus glycoprotein B
Herpesviruses can enter host cells by pH-dependent endocytic pathways in a cell-specific manner. The role of pH in herpesvirus endocytosis is unclear. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a paradigm for virus membrane fusion via a complex of glycoproteins. HSV glycoproteins B, D and the heterodimer H-L …

Interazioni tra le glicoproteine D, B, H ed L critiche per la fusione indotta dal virus Herpes simplex
… (gD, gB, gH, and gL) are required for herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry into the cell and for cell-cell fusion in transfected cells. gD serves as the receptor-binding glycoprotein and as the trigger of fusion; the other three glycoproteins execute fusion between the viral envelope and …

Identification of macrophage phenotypes and evaluation of their role in the immunopathogenesis in animal model of Behçet’s disease
… alternatively activated (M2) macrophages. In a herpes simplex virus (HSV)-induced BD mouse model, it has confirmed the abundant expression of the M1 phenotype (CD16/32) compared to the M2 phenotype(CD23). For M1/M2 phenotypic transformation in vivo normal mice, recombinant interferongamma …

Improving the delivery and efficacy of a cancer therapeutic via extracellular matrix modification
… characterize the distribution of a therapeutic herpes simplex virus (HSV) vector in solid tumors. The model showed that the spread of virus following intratumoral injection is severely limited by rapid binding and limited diffusion. Importantly, the model demonstrates that an improvement in …

Modeling of [¹⁸F]-FHBG in tumor and normal tissues
… of tumors has led to the emergence of oncolytic virus therapy. Viruses have been engineered to preferentially target tumor cells. The efficiency and safety of this cancer treatment is dependent upon selective viral replication within cancer cells. In order for viral oncolysis to be successful in …

A Role for the HSV Tegument Protein pUL16 in Modulating Cellular Energy Metabolism during HSV-2 Infection
… pUL16, is implicated in several processes during Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, including virion morphogenesis and cell-to-cell spread of infection. Recent literature has also demonstrated that HSV-1 pUL16 localizes to distinct regions of mitochondria. Consistent with these findings, our …

The innate immune response to HSV-1: glycoprotein mediated activation of dendritic cells
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) – 1 also known as Human Herpes Virus (HHV) – 1 is a common infectious agent of humans which can cause a wide variety of clinical outcomes, ranging from mild mucocutaneous lesions to long term morbidity and possible mortality. Viral entry into cells requires the …

Investigating circuit and spatial heterogeneity of human brain tumors with patient-derived organoid models
… to glioma remain unclear. We leveraged rabies virus and herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based transsynaptic tracing techniques in the rodent brain to define a whole-brain connectome of GBM-projecting neurons. We found that, remarkably, GBM receives inputs from all over the brain and are innervated …

Gene regulation and function of ICP0 in herpes simplex virus infected cells
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a clinically important virus, whose life cycle alternates between productive replication and latency. Infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) is generally believed to play a key role in determining the outcome of HSV infections. Synthesis of ICP0 promotes the productive …

Requirement for AMPA receptor endocytosis and long-term depression in ocular dominance plasticity
… has not been established. Here we develop a herpes-simplex virus (HSV) vector to express a peptide (G2CT) in visual cortical neurons designed to block AMPAR internalization by hindering the association of the C-terminal tail of the AMPAR GluR2 subunit with the AP2 clathrin adaptor complex. We …

Blocking Immunosuppressive Factors and Taking Advantage of the Nutrient Supply Within the Tumor Microenvironment: Pathways to Achieve Improved Cancer Immunotherapeutic Efficacy for Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
… a melanoma vaccine expressing MAAs within herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein D (gD), which blocks the inhibitory BTLA/CD160-HVEM pathway. Compared to a non-gD vaccine, the gD-adjuvanted vaccine enhances CD8+T cells to low avidity epitopes and prolongs survival of tumor-bearing mice. gD …

Multi-modal imaging of herpesvirus infection
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 is a large, enveloped DNA virus that undergoes a complex assembly pathway in the cell. Capsids assemble in the nucleus, cross the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm by budding and fusion through the nuclear membranes, and acquire a proteinaceous ‘tegument’ layer in the …

The pedagogy of the clinic: health professionals and women with viral sexually transmitted infections
… two most common viral STIs, the human papilloma virus (HPV) and the herpes simplex virus (HSV). To consider the effects of the myriad beliefs that inform clinical teaching I draw from poststructuralist feminist discourse theory. For data collection I used in-depth email interviews, a research …

Structural and biochemical characterisation of pUL7 and pUL51, conserved tegument proteins required for efficient herpesvirus assembly
Herpesviruses are ubiquitous viral pathogens that infect all known vertebrates. It is estimated that over 90% of adults worldwide are infected with at least one of the nine human herpesviruses, which cause a wide range of morbidity and mortality. These viruses share a conserved assembly pathway, …

Mechanisms of cell adhesion regulation by herpes simplex virus
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 is a highly prevalent human pathogen that establishes a life-long infection. HSV-1 promotes its replication and spread by expressing multi-functional proteins that extensively remodel the host cell. Three such proteins are pUL21, pUL7 and pUL51. pUL21 is a viral …
