Induction of CCL8/MCP-2 by mycobacteria through the activation of TLR2/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. [PDF]
Pleural tuberculosis (TB), together with lymphatic TB, constitutes more than half of all extrapulmonary cases. Pleural effusions (PEs) in TB are representative of lymphocytic PEs which are dominated by T cells.

Determination of HIV Tropism in Patients with Antiretroviral Therapy Failure in Arkhangelsk Region
The aim of the study was to determine the tropism of the human immunodeficiency virus in patients with virological failure of antiretroviral therapy (ART) from the Arkhangelsk Region based on the analysis of the env gene V3 loop nucleotide sequence ...

CCL5 activation of CCR5 regulates cell metabolism to enhance proliferation of breast cancer cells [PDF]
In earlier studies, we showed that CCL5 enhances proliferation and survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in an mTOR-dependent manner and we provided evidence that, for T cells, CCL5 activation of CCR5 results in increased glycolysis and enhanced ATP ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

No evidence for an association between the chemokine receptor 5 D32 polymorphism and multiple sclerosis susceptibility: A meta-analysis [PDF]
Background/Aim: Numerous reports have been published on the association of the chemokine receptor 5 D32 genetic variation (rs333) with the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), with results that are inconsistent.

Exploration of bivalent ligands targeting putative mu opioid receptor and chemokine receptor CCR5 dimerization [PDF]
Modern antiretroviral therapies have provided HIV-1 infected patients longer lifespans and better quality of life. However, several neurological complications are now being seen in these patients due to HIV-1 associated injury of neurons by infected ...

Functional diversity of chemokines and chemokine receptors in response to viral infection of the central nervous system. [PDF]
Encounters with neurotropic viruses result in varied outcomes ranging from encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis or other serious consequences to relatively benign infection.

The Effect of N-Terminal Cyclization on the Function of the HIV Entry Inhibitor 5P12-RANTES. [PDF]
Despite effective treatment for those living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), there are still two million new infections each year. Protein-based HIV entry inhibitors, being highly effective and specific, could be used to protect people from ...
