CD49a expression defines a metabolically robust, cytokine‐biased liver NK cell subset in rhesus macaques during lentivirus infection

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Liver‐resident NK cells (CD49a+ NK cells) in rhesus macaques display distinct activating receptor and metabolic markers enhanced phenotype compared with hepatic NK cell subsets (CD49a−) in the liver. These cells exhibit heightened cytokine polyfunctionality with restrained cytotoxic responses upon mitogen stimulation in comparison with CD49a− NK cell ...

Exploring potential associations between the human microbiota and reservoir of latent HIV

Retrovirology
Background The rapid establishment and persistence of latent HIV-1 reservoirs is one of the main obstacles towards an HIV cure. While antiretroviral therapy supresses viral replication, it does not eradicate the latent reservoir of HIV-1-infected cells ...

Long‐Acting Cabotegravir/Rilpivirine Reduces Immune‐Activation and ‐Senescence in People With HIV With CMV Co‐Infection

Immunology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of switching to long‐acting (LA) injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine (CAB/RPV‐LA) on immune‐activation and ‐senescence in people with HIV (PWH). Thirty‐seven PWH switching to CAB/RPV‐LA and nine continuing oral ART were analysed over 72 weeks. LA therapy led to significant reductions in activation T and senescence

The use of HIV-1 integration site analysis information in clinical studies aiming at HIV cure

Journal of Virus Eradication, 2016
The mechanisms for the establishment and the persistence of the latent HIV-1 reservoir remain to be completely defined. HIV-1 infection is characterised by the integration of the reverse transcribed proviral DNA into the host's genome.

The Role of Viruses in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the presence and potential pathogenic role of viruses in periodontitis. Design: Narrative Review; Population: Patients with periodontitis; Exposure: Detection of viruses in oral samples (biopsies, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, blood); Outcome: Viral prevalence, load ...

Establishment and stability of the latent HIV-1 DNA reservoir

eLife, 2016
HIV-1 infection cannot be cured because the virus persists as integrated proviral DNA in long-lived cells despite years of suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). In a previous paper (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib43">Zanini et al, 2015</xref>) we documented HIV-1 evolution in 10 untreated patients.

Factors associated with unquantifiable total HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood in persons living with HIV: An observational study

Journal of Virus Eradication
Background: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) cannot be eradicated even with suppressive antiretroviral therapy because its retrotranscribed genome integrates into the DNA of host cells, creating a long-term reservoir.

Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.
