Immune checkpoints and the HIV-1 reservoir: proceed with caution

Journal of Virus Eradication, 2016
Successfully identifying and targeting immune checkpoints on latently HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells could be a key component in HIV-1 eradication therapies [1,2]. Immune checkpoints are negative regulators of: (i) T cell activation; (ii) T cell proliferation; and (iii) effector functions including cytokine production [3].

CD4-mimetics sensitize HIV-infected cells to ADCC mediated by plasma from persons with early-stage HIV-1 infection

Journal of Virology
The viral reservoir in long-lived memory CD4+ cells, established in the early stages of HIV infection, represents the main obstacle to an HIV cure. Some strategies being developed to target the reservoir rely on rendering HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins ...

Mapping opioid exposure through prescription data and postmortem analysis of opioid drugs in multiple tissues

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 2624-2635, August 2026.
Background and Purpose Although opioids are central to end of life (EoL) care, tissue‐level opioid exposure remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to characterize the relationship between prescription‐derived morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD) and measured morphine concentrations across multiple organs.

Prevalence, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Genetic Diversity of Non‐Typeable Streptococcus pneumoniae Carriage: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐typeable Streptococcus pneumoniae (NT‐Sp) strains lack detectable capsules and are often missed by traditional serotyping. While associated primarily with asymptomatic carriage, NT‐Sp has emerged as a key player in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene dissemination and serotype replacement in the post‐vaccine era. This systematic

Reservoir differences across HIV-1 subtypes: a systematic review to guide cure research

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionDespite effective antiretroviral therapy, HIV-1 persists as a viral reservoir and remains a major barrier to a durable cure. Reservoir size and dynamics are central determinants of the success of cure strategies.

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.

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

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...
