Accurate and efficient gp120 V3 loop structure based models for the determination of HIV-1 co-receptor usage

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background HIV-1 targets human cells expressing both the CD4 receptor, which binds the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120, as well as either the CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4) co-receptors, which interact primarily with the third hypervariable loop (V3 loop) of ...

The metabolic‐immune hub: Dual roles of indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase in the acute kidney injury‐to‐chronic kidney disease transition and therapeutic perspectives

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
1. Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) acts as a time‐dependent metabolic–immune switch in the acute kidney injury‐to‐chronic kidney disease transition, protective early but pathogenic when sustained. 2. Early protection (regulatory T cell expansion, M2 polarisation and ferroptosis suppression) gives way to general control nonderepressible 2‐driven ...

Chemokine receptor CCR1 restrains adipose tissue remodelling via cAMP/PKA/CREB signalling and adipocyte‒macrophage crosstalk in mice

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
CCR1 expression is significantly elevated in adipose tissue of obese individuals. Systemic and adipocyte‐specific Ccr1 deletion promotes fat browning via cAMP/PKA/CREB activation and M2 macrophage polarisation, protecting against obesity. Pharmacological blockade of CCR1 suppresses obesity progression, highlighting its potential as a novel target for ...

An expanded model of HIV cell entry phenotype based on multi-parameter single-cell data

Retrovirology, 2012
Background Entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) into the host cell involves interactions between the viral envelope glycoproteins (Env) and the cellular receptor CD4 as well as a coreceptor molecule (most importantly CCR5 or CXCR4). Viral

Beyond a Metabolite: Lactylation as a Pivotal Regulator of Colorectal Cancer Pathogenesis and Treatment Resistance

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review elucidates how lactylation, a novel histone modification driven by lactate, regulates colorectal cancer pathogenesis. We summarize its roles in tumor progression, metastasis, stemness, immunosuppression, and therapy resistance, and discusses the promising therapeutic strategies of targeting the lactylation pathway.

HIV-1 co-receptor tropism and disease progression in children and young adults with perinatally acquired HIV-1 infection. The HICCUP Study

Journal of Virus Eradication, 2015
Objectives: Retrospective analysis of evolution of HIV tropism and association with disease progression in perinatal HIV-1 infection (PaHIV). Methodology: Eligible patients with PaHIV were grouped as slow, rapid or long-term non-progressors (LTNP).

Downstream Pathways of Dystrophin Deficiency in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Muscle Degeneration and Regeneration

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy, primarily affecting skeletal muscle and leading to premature death. Although the loss of dystrophin has long been recognised as the primary cause of the disease, no definitive cure is currently available. As a consequence, therapeutic efforts

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Elevated levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol promote atherogenesis in ApoE-/- mice.

PLoS ONE, 2018
BackgroundThe endocannabinoid (eCB) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a known modulator of inflammation and ligand to both, pro-inflammatory cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and anti-inflammatory CB2. While the role of both receptors in atherogenesis has been

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...
