The effect of lung irradiation on reduction of lung stem cells and repopulation with bone marrow-derived cells was measured. Expression of green fluorescent protein positive cells (GFP(+)) in the lungs of thoracic irradiated FVB/NHsd mice... more
A virus-host cell system in which human cytomegalovirus-infected human cells are entrapped in agarose plugs has been developed. This model provides an inexpensive method for the in vivo evaluation (with outbred, immunocompetent mice) of... more
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease which can be complicated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during its course. CMV reactivation can mimic an SLE flare and lead to delay in diagnosis. Here, we reported... more
Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and disease are still one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Letermovir prophylaxis has been clearly shown to be... more
Patients with refractory or recurrent B-lineage hematologic malignancies have less than 50% of chance of cure despite intensive therapy and innovative approaches are needed. We hypothesize that gene modification of hematopoietic stem... more
Purpose: Our previous studies suggested that human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) RNA-targeting trans-splicing ribozyme could be a useful tool for cancer gene therapy. Here, we investigated whether adenoviruses harboring this... more
Purpose: Several groups have reported a prevalence of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) in glioblastoma close to 100%. Previously, we reported that treatment with the antiviral drug valganciclovir as an add-on to standard therapy significantly... more
A 32-week preterm-born male with symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus infection was treated with valganciclovir. He was also affected by congenital severe bilateral hearing loss and, unexpectedly, a normalization of the hearing... more
Dissociation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA loads between the lower respiratory tract and blood, with high levels in the former compartment and low or undetectable levels in the latter, commonly occurs during active CMV infection in... more
Introduction Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most important viral pathogen in people undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT). HCMV detection in the early stages makes is possible to save the patients’ lives through immediate and... more
Background: Viral encephalitis is a medical emergency. The prognosis depends mainly on the pathogen and host immunologic state. Correct immediate diagnosis and introduction of symptomatic and specific therapy has a dramatic influence... more
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients and a major etiological factor for congenital birth defects in newborns. Ganciclovir and its pro-drug valganciclovir are... more
