This study identifies UL35 as a viral protein that degrades SLF2, preventing SMC5/6 from silencing HCMV genomes.

This study shows HSV infection increases ALS risk and promotes TDP-43 pathology through ICP0-mediated disruption of PML bodies.

This study identifies ISG20 as an antiviral factor against HCMV by inducing an innate immune defense signature that enhances IFN production and response.

This study shows that a dominant-negative mutant of the viral chemokine RCK3 prevents CMV-induced neurodevelopmental disorders in a rat model.

This study identifies the HUSH complex as a host factor that restricts HAdV infection through epigenetic silencing, and shows HAdV proteins inhibit this complex to promote viral replication.

This study shows DNA virus infections activate transposable elements (TEs) through KAP1/TRIM28 inhibition and DUX4 expression, with in vivo correlations in cancer patients.
