HIV coreceptor tropism among patients with newly diagnosed infection [PDF]

Medicinski Podmladak, 2016
Introduction: Coreceptor tropism is the ability of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to use CCR5 or CXCR4 coreceptor to enter the host cell. Tropism depends on the structure of the surface glycoprotein, involved in binding molecules to receptor and ...

Dual Lineages of Langerhans Cells Cooperate to Restore the Immune Barrier after Skin Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After skin injury, the epidermal immune barrier is rebuilt by two sources of Langerhans cells. Resident Langerhans cells first move into the wound during re‐epithelialization, guided by CXCR2 signaling. Later, recruited monocytes become long‐lived Langerhans cells.

Loss of SHP1 in Spinal Astrocytes Triggers T‐Lymphocyte Infiltration and Nociceptive Hypersensitivity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocyte‐specific SHP1 deletion disrupts astrocyte–vascular interactions and compromises BBB integrity while enhancing STAT1‐dependent CXCL10 expression. These changes synergistically promote peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration into the SDH. The infiltrating T cells secrete IFN‐γ, which in turn activates microglia.

The dual CCR2/CCR5 chemokine receptor antagonist Cenicriviroc reduces macrophage infiltration and disease severity in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Dmdmdx-4Cv) mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle weakness which is ultimately fatal, most often due to involvement of the diaphragm.

Hyperacute Interleukin‐1β Production and Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in the Cerebral Circulation of Stroke Patients with Large Vessel Occlusion

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion is associated with rapid intravascular immune activation. Analysis of arterial blood sampled distal to the thrombus during mechanical thrombectomy revealed increased extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) levels, evidence of inflammasome priming in monocytes, and ...

Efavirenz-Based Regimens in Antiretroviral-Naive HIV-Infected Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Efavirenz, a non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) is one of the most commonly prescribed antiretroviral drugs. The present article provides a systematic overview and meta-analysis of clinical trials comparing efavirenz and other active ...

Autoreactivity Versus Autoimmunity: Characteristics of Autoantigen‐Specific CD4 T Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Health

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit) peptides are key players in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) immunopathogenesis. Characterizing these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next ...

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...
