Endogenous retroviruses and the development of cancer.
Mammalian genomes include a considerable number of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), relics of ancestral infectious retroviruses, whose proviruses have invaded the germ-line. The documented ability of infectious retroviruses to cause cancer has greatly contributed to the discovery of ERVs. It also reinforced the concept that ERVs are causative agents of many cancers, a notion that historically ha...
متن کاملDynamic control of endogenous retroviruses during development.
Close to half of the human genome encompasses mobile genetic elements, most of which are retrotransposons. These genetic invaders are formidable evolutionary forces that have shaped the architecture of the genomes of higher organisms, with some conserving the ability to induce new integrants within their hosts' genome. Expectedly, the control of endogenous retroviruses is tight and multi-pronge...
متن کاملDevelopment Editorial overview
Christopher Walsh is interested in genes that regulate the development of the cerebral cortex. Mutations in these genes in humans cause autism and epilepsy, as well as mental retardation and other learning disorders. These genes are vital to the normal development of the cortex, and it is possible that they might have been altered during evolution to allow the unique aspects of the brain that u...
متن کاملLymphocyte development Editorial overview
During their development, lymphocytes acquire a remarkable ability to defend us from the universe of potential pathogens while maintaining tolerance to self. The study of lymphocyte development is important both for understanding how lymphocytes acquire their specificity and function, and for using as a model system of development. Indeed, the study of lymphocyte development involves the examin...
متن کاملEditorial overview: Development and behavior
Early life experiences can have a profound impact on developmental trajectories, with implications for later life biobehavioral outcomes. This phenomenon is highly conserved across species and occurs in response to a broad range of environmental signals. The papers in this issue highlight the influence of experiences occurring during sensitive periods in early development, including prenatal, p...
