Article Synopsis
- Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) make up about 8% of the human genome and have been linked to various diseases, but there hasn't been a complete resource summarizing these associations.
- The HervD Atlas is a new knowledgebase that compiles 60,726 HERV-disease associations from 254 publications, covering a wide range of HERVs, diseases, and related genes.
- It features an interactive knowledge graph and a user-friendly interface, making it easier to explore HERV-disease connections and potentially aiding in the development of new diagnostic and treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess how the number of surgeries performed by a surgeon affects outcomes for women with stage IB1 cervical cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH).
- The analysis included 1,137 patients and categorized surgeons into low, mid, and high-volume based on the number of surgeries they performed.
- Although high-volume surgeons had shorter operative times and less blood loss, overall survival and disease-free survival rates were similar across all surgeon volume groups, indicating that surgical volume may not significantly influence prognosis.
