Background The Sydney blood bank cohort (SBBC) of long-term survivors consists of multiple individuals infected with nef-deleted, attenuated strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).

To enable mitotic spindle assembly during cell division, centrosomes must bear tensile stresses generated by microtubule‐mediated pulling forces. Micro‐rheology reveals that PLK‐1 phosphorylation of the scaffold protein SPD‐5 tunes the viscoelasticity, size, and morphology of the centrosome scaffold in C. elegans.

Simian immunodeficiency virus Nef gene regulates the production of 2-LTR circles in vivo
The replication dynamics of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac32H-C8), attenuated through discrete genetic disruption of the nef gene, were compared with the wild-type parental clone (SIVmac32H-J5) using quantitative molecular methods. The primary viraemia of both infections were similar during the first week, but peaked on Day 10 at higher levels ...

Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]
Chronic HIV-1 infection results in the expansion of both NKG2C+ and CD16+CD56- human natural killer cells. NKG2C+ cells proliferate in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and expansion of the dysfunctional CD56-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells is ...

Using projection‐ and layer‐specific rabies tracing, we mapped brain‐wide inputs to multiple feedforward and feedback neuron types in VISl (LM), the mouse secondary visual cortex. Although input patterns were broadly similar across neuron types, we observed differences in the relative contributions of visual, retrosplenial, and auditory cortices ...

Evidence for Adaptive Evolution at the Divergence Between Lymphoid and Brain HIV-1nefGenes [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection of the central nervous system frequently causes HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). The role of HIV Nef and other accessory proteins in HAND pathogenesis is unclear. To determine whether HIV nef undergoes adaptive selection in brain, we cloned 100 nef sequences (n = 30 brain and n = 70 ...

Host restriction factors in retroviral infection: promises in virus-host interaction
Retroviruses have an intricate life cycle. There is much to be learned from studying retrovirus-host interactions. Among retroviruses, the primate lentiviruses have one of the more complex genome structures with three categories of viral genes ...

Novel, cross-restricted, conserved, and immunodominant Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte epitopes in slow progressors in HIV Type 1 infection [PDF]
HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an important role in the immune response to HIV infection. Long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) or slow progressors (SPs) in HIV infection may make qualitatively different CTL responses compared to those ...

Deciphering epigenetic regulation in postmenopausal osteoporosis: Current and future perspectives
In this perspective, the significant roles of microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs and circular RNAs in postmenopausal osteoporosis are thoroughly expounded. The advantages and limitations of typical noncoding RNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets are summarized and discussed.

Functional association between the nef gene product and gag‐pol region of HIV‐1
Nef gene function is diverse among virus isolates of primate immunodeficiency viruses. We found differential effects of nef mutation on the virus replication between two HIV‐1 clones, NL432 and LAI. The nef mutation in NL432 affected the infectivity more severely compared with that in LAI, although the Nef functions of both clones were comparable ...
