Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are abundant sequences that persist within the
human genome as remnants of ancient retroviral infections. These sequences became fixed …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are derived from exogenous retrovirus infections
in the evolution of primates and account for about 8% of the human genome. They were …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by
the progressive loss of motor neurons. While several pathogenic mutations have been …

Repetitive elements (REs), such as transposable elements (TEs) and satellites, comprise
much of the genome. Here, we review how TEs and (peri) centromeric satellite DNA may …

Abstract Transposable Elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements whose sequences
constitute nearly half of the human genome. Each TE copy can be present in hundreds to …

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers known, and it is also a significant cause of
death in women. If breast cancer is diagnosed in the early stages of the disease and treated …

Objective Human endogenous retroviruses have been implicated in neurodegenerative
diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Expression of human endogenous …

Background: Neuroinflammation and human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) are thought
to have a role in the pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therapy …

Abstract Background Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), the remnants of ancient
retroviruses, account for 8% of the human genome, but most have lost their transcriptional …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of chronic brain impairment and results in a
robust, but poorly understood, neuroinflammatory response that contributes to the long-term …
