Human endogenous retroviruses that colonized vertebrate DNA millions of years ago have long been dismissed as junk DNA, but researchers now know that they may play important roles in cancer, ...

As will become apparent in the following, we do not see the endogenous retroviruses as alternatives to the immune-mediated damage, but as triggers of it. A potential problem in the implication of ...

Glioblastoma has long resisted treatment, but scientists may have found a breakthrough by leveraging the body's own ...

“The new data presented in the paper represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the potential role of endogenous retroviruses in neurological disease.” “It’s a very, very important ...

These ancient hitchhikers, known as endogenous retroviruses, were long considered inert or 'junk' DNA, defanged of any ability to do damage. CU Boulder research published July 17 in the journal ...
