CD4 lymphocyte count: A barometer for HIV/AIDS management
It is probably not a news to say that HIV/AIDS is yet to have a cure and that the dreaded virus can be managed effectively with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). What is however new is the fact that the point of initiating the management regimen in Africa may likely be different from others elsewhere in the globe if your article recently ...

Microfluidic Assays for CD4 T Lymphocyte Counting: A Review
CD4 T lymphocytes play a key role in initiating the adaptive immune response, releasing cytokines that mediate numerous signal transduction pathways across the immune system. Therefore, CD4 T cell counts are widely used as an indicator of overall immunological health. HIV, one of the leading causes of death in the developing world, specifically targets

Factors associated with CD4 lymphocyte counts in HIV-negative Senegalese individuals [PDF]
Summary CD4+ lymphocytes are a primary target of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and CD4 counts are one of the factors used to measure disease progression in HIV-positive individuals. CD4 counts vary in uninfected individuals and across populations due to a variety of demographic, environmental, immunological and genetic factors ...

The PI3Kδ inhibitor roginolisib (IOA‐244) preserves T‐cell function and activity
Identification of novel PI3K inhibitors with limited immune‐related adverse effects is highly sought after. We found that roginolisib and idelalisib inhibit chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells and Treg suppressive functions to similar extents, but roginolisib affects cytotoxic T‐cell function and promotion of pro‐inflammatory T helper subsets to a

Day/night variations of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets in the murine inguinal lymph node
The circadian system is involved in the temporal regulation of the immune system. Our study reveals that two innate immune populations, NKT cells and neutrophils, predominate at the beginning of the day in healthy mice, highlighting how the time of day influences immune responses.

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.
