Oncogenic viruses, like all viruses, relies on host metabolism to provide the metabolites and energy needed for virus replication. Many DNA tumor viruses and retroviruses will reprogram metabolism during infection. Additionally, some viral oncogenes may alter metabolism independent of virus replication. Virus infection and cancer development share many similarities regarding metabolic reprogramming as both processes demand increased metabolic activity to produce biomass: cell proliferation in the case of cancer and virion production in the case of infection. This review discusses the parallels in metabolic reprogramming between human oncogenic viruses and oncogenesis.

Background: Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have been referred to as a "hard-to-reach" or "hidden" community in terms of recruiting for research studies. With widespread internet use among this group and young adults in general, web-based avenues represent an important approach for reaching and recruiting members of this community. However, little is known about how participants recruited from various web-based sources may differ from one another.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common cancer worldwide with a poor prognosis for survival. Risk factors include alcohol and tobacco abuse and infection with human papilloma virus (HPV). To enhance anti-tumor immune responses immunotherapeutic approaches are approved for recurrent metastatic disease but only approx.

Background: The infectious hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggests that microbes may play a role in pathogenesis by triggering the pathologic cascade or contributing to disease progression. Herpesviruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), have been of high interest in AD and related neurodegenerative diseases, in part due to their ability to establish lifelong latent infection and potentially reactivate. However, further research is needed to fully understand the role of herpesviruses in these diseases.

HPV status is an important prognostic factor in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), with HPV-positive tumors associated with better overall survival. To determine HPV status, we rely on the immunohistochemical investigation for expression of the P16 protein, which must be associated with molecular investigation for the presence of viral DNA. We aim to define a criterion based on image analysis and machine learning to predict HPV status from hematoxylin/eosin stain.

Background And Purpose: The similarities in biology, treatment regimens and outcome between the different human papillomavirus (HPV) associated squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) allow for extrapolation of results generated from one SC tumor type to another. In HPV associated cancers, HPV is integrated into the tumor genome and can consequently be detected in the circulating fragments of the tumor DNA. Thus, measurement of HPV in the plasma is a surrogate for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and holds promise as a clinically relevant biomarker in HPV associated cancers.
