Functional exhaustion of CD4+T cells in HIV/HCV coinfected HAART-treated patients
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common among HIV-positive patients, with up to 50% of them being coinfected in Russia. While highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) suppresses HIV replication and restores the immune system of HIV-infected ...

Early changes of CD4-positive lymphocytes and NK cells in patients with severe Gram-negative sepsis [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Our aim was to define early changes of lymphocytes and of NK cells in severe sepsis and to correlate them with serum levels of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1).

Impact of aging : sporadic, and genetic risk factors on vulnerability to apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
The identification of specific genetic (presenilin-1 [PS1] and amyloid precursor protein [APP] mutations) and environmental factors responsible for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has revealed evidence for a shared pathway of neuronal death.
