Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Wilma D Perez"
- Wilma D Perez's recent research focuses on the interplay between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and cellular mechanisms involving hematopoietic progenitor cells and transcription factors, exploring viral latency and reactivation processes in relation to host cell regulation.
- In her 2023 study, Perez identifies how HCMV UL8 interacts with β-catenin and DVL2, which are critical in the reactivation of the virus in CD34 HPCs, highlighting the significance of these interactions in understanding viral latency.
- Earlier research by Perez, including investigations into the role of HOXA13 in limb development, has revealed important insights into the impact of gene regulation on patterning and development, thus broadening the understanding of genetic influences on both viral and developmental biology.
