Host factors and early treatments to restrict paediatric HIV infection and early disease progression [PDF]
open6noA body of evidence indicates that a threshold level of the virus is required to establish systemic and persistent HIV infection in the host and that this level depends on virus-host interactions.

Achieving Optimal Health With Host‐Directed Therapies (HDTs) in Infectious Diseases—A New Horizon
Host‐directed therapies (HDTs) represent a transformative approach in infectious disease management by targeting host factors to enhance immune responses and inhibit viral replication. This innovative strategy leverages advanced genomics and gene editing technologies, offering promising avenues for improved patient outcomes and a new horizon in ...

Clinical and immunological characteristic of natural course at the early stages of HIV infection
An early-stage infection induces the most powerful reactions of immune system. 137 clinical histories of patients with HIV infection, and HCV/HIV-infected at the early stages of HIV infection were subjected to analysis.

Alterations of the NK cell pool in HIV/HCV co-infection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:A relevant proportion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients is co-infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV co-infection in HIV-positive patients is associated with faster progression of liver disease in comparison to ...

This study investigates the combination of host‐directed therapeutics (HDT) with antibiotics in a single polymeric micelle based on polypept(o)ides for the therapy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and ‐marinum (Mm) infections. When the HDT and antibiotic are co‐encapsulated, it significantly reduces bacterial burden in cells and improves overall ...

Transcription‐independent functions of p53 in DNA repair pathway selection
Transcription‐independent early recruitment and PARylation of p53 at DNA damage sites promotes the recruitment of particular repair factors (e.g. DDB1 and 53BP1) and thereby tipping the balance of repair pathway selection. Abstract Recently discovered transcription‐independent features of p53 involve the choice of DNA damage repair pathway after ...

Temporal Dynamics of CD8+ T Cell Effector Responses during Primary HIV Infection. [PDF]
The loss of HIV-specific CD8+ T cell cytolytic function is a primary factor underlying progressive HIV infection, but whether HIV-specific CD8+ T cells initially possess cytolytic effector capacity, and when and why this may be lost during infection, is ...

Clinically Relevant Metallic Nanoparticles in Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Therapy
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, with drug‐resistant strains exacerbating the issue. Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) show promise in TB diagnosis as sensor probes and in combination therapy with antimycobacterial drugs, requiring further pre‐clinical and clinical research for clinical translation.

Single-cell analysis of immune cell transcriptome during HIV-1 infection and therapy
Background Cellular immune responses are phenotypically and functionally perturbed during HIV-1 infection, with the majority of function restored upon antiretroviral therapy (ART).
