Much of the current literature regarding the molecular pathophysiology of human papillomavirus (HPV) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has focused on the virus's effect on cell cycle modulation and cell proliferation. A second mechanism of pathogenicity employed by HPV, dysregulation of cellular DNA repair processes, has been more sparsely studied. The purpose of this review is to describe current understanding about the effect of HPV on DNA repair in HNSCC, taking cues from cervical cancer literature. HPV affects DNA-damage response pathways by interacting with many proteins, including ATM, ATR, MRN, γ-H2AX, Chk1, Chk2, p53, BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51, Rb-related proteins 107 and 130, Tip60, and p16INK4A. Further elucidation of these pathways could lead to development of targeted therapies and improvement of current treatment protocols.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can significantly increase the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and there is no curative treatment. The persistence of HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is the major obstacle of antiviral treatments. cccDNA is formed through repairing viral partially double-stranded relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) by varies host factors.

Bacteria encode various DNA repair pathways to maintain genome integrity. However, the high degree of homology between DNA repair proteins or their domains hampers accurate identification. Here, we describe a stringent search strategy to identify DNA repair proteins and provide a systematic analysis of taxonomic distribution and co-occurrence of DNA repair proteins involved in RecA-dependent homologous recombination.

The tumorigenic dose 50 (TD) is a widely used measure of carcinogenic potency which has historically been used to determine acceptable intake limits for carcinogenic compounds. Although broadly used, the TD model was not designed to account for important biological factors such as DNA repair and cell compensatory mechanisms, changes in absorption, etc., leading to the development of benchmark dose (BMD) approaches, which use more flexible dose-response models that are better able to account for these processes.

Background: Various studies indicated that the immune system is a cardinal feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which can either ameliorate or exacerbate AD neuropathogenesis. Nevertheless, the associations between genes involved in the immune system and AD remain unclear.
Method: To systematically evaluate the associations of these genes with AD, we investigated 370 genes implicated in the immune system based on previous studies selected using the PubMed database.

Background: To date, Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has principally focused on neurons. In contrast, recent studies suggest that genetic mechanisms drive microglia towards prolonged inflammation in AD brains, exacerbating neurodegeneration. Indeed, many of the 70 disease-associated loci uncovered with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reside near genes related to microglial function, such as TREM2.
