Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause a variety of health disorders that can lead to death in immunocompromised individuals and neonates. In addition, increasing evidence indicate an association of HCMV with cancer, especially Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). HCMV might not only have oncomodulatory properties in GBM favouring tumor progression, a paradigm termed oncomodulation, but can als…
Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause a variety of health disorders that can lead to death in immunocompromised individuals and neonates. The HCMV lifecycle comprises both a lytic (productive) and a latent (non-productive) phase. HCMV lytic infection occurs in a wide range of terminally differentiated cell types. HCMV latency has been less well studied, but one characterized site of late…
Kallikreins (KLKs) are serine-proteases with tryspsin-like or chymotrypsin-like specificity. The KLK family is composed of 15 members, named as KLK1 to KLK15 comprising the largest protease genes cluster, with structural homology of approximately 40%. The KLKs are related with diverse physiological functions, such as regulatory mechanisms of skin desquamation, formation of tooth enamel, r…
The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous infectious agent of high prevalence worldwide. In healthy individuals, the infection is normally asymptomatic, however, in cases of immunosuppression the virus can be a life threatening agent. Recent findings demonstrate a relationship between HCMV and cancer. The virus has been detected in different cancer types, especially in glioblastoma…

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a pathogen with high prevalence in the world population that mainly affects immunocompromised individuals. HCMV is the major cause of congenital infection, which can result in central nervous system impairments and even deafness in newborns. In addition, evidence shows that the virus may be involved with tumor processes. The infection can present itself in …

The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous agent highly prevalent worldwide. HCMV is able to persist in a latent stage in the host for life and can cause serious diseases in immunosuppressed and newborns. It is known that during latency various cellular proteins are expressed in order to avoid immune survailance. However the molecular mechanisms of establishment of latency and r…
