Molecular Signatures of HIV‐Induced Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Human Cerebral Organoids: Identification of Therapeutic Targets for NeuroHIV

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HIV preferentially infects microglia, activating IL‐17A‐driven IFN‐γ/STAT1, CEBPB, and NF‐κB signaling that converges with cGAS‐STING and Notch–NEURL1 pathways, promoting neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic impairment. cART suppresses viral replication, attenuates inflammatory signaling, and at least partially restores ...

CYP3A5 genetic variability influences sildenafil and metabolite in pulmonary hypertension

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Interindividual variability in sildenafil response among pulmonary hypertension patients (PH) may be influenced by CYP3A5 polymorphisms. CYP3A5*3 allele reduces CYP3A5 activity and affects sildenafil metabolism. This study investigated the associations between CYP3A5 genotype and plasma concentrations of sildenafil and N‐desmethyl sildenafil, as ...

Analysis of queries in an HIV drug–drug interaction checker to explore changes in prescribing patterns: A 5‐year analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Careful consideration of drug–drug interactions (DDIs) is critical as people with HIV age. We analysed queries submitted to the University of Liverpool HIV Drug Interactions Database to assess changes in prescribing patterns over 5 years. Methods Queries submitted between January 2020 and December 2024 were extracted and categorized by year ...

Pharmacokinetic interactions between rifampicin and efavirenz in HIV-TB coinfections

Universa Medicina, 2016
The increased percentage of patients with HIV-TB coinfection leads to inevitable interactions between rifampicin and efavirenz. Efavirenz is a potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) for the treatment of HIV infection.

CYP46A1 activation by low-dose efavirenz enhances brain cholesterol metabolism in subjects with early Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Efavirenz is an anti-HIV drug, and cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1) is a CNS-specific enzyme that metabolizes cholesterol to 24-hydroxycholesterol (24HC).

Advanced In Vitro Platforms for Experimental Liver Research: From Organoids and Liver‐on‐Chip to Omics and Artificial Intelligence

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hepatocytes perform essential physiological functions in the human body. Gaining more profound insight into the liver structure, diseases, and physiology by using in vitro models can help to propose more relevant clinical applications. Conventional in vitro liver models, such as two‐dimensional (2D) cell cultures, fail to adequately replicate ...
