HIV ANTIGENAEMIA IN ACUTE HIV INFECTION

The Lancet, 1987
-Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection maypresent as an acute illness, probably occurring shortly after virusacquisition.1.2 Most cases have been diagnosed retrospectivelyfollowing seroconversion. We have seen two patients with a clinicalpicture compatible with acute HIV disease, and have tested theiracute phase sera for HIV antigen.

Enhanced Human Antigen‐Specific B Cell Responses Using In Vitro 3D Tonsil Cultures Containing Stromal Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We developed a fully human 3D tonsil cell culture system incorporating supportive stromal cells that better sustains and activates immune cells than conventional methods. The model generates stronger, more targeted antibody responses to viral antigens and vaccines, providing a physiologically relevant and entirely human platform for studying immune ...

Mapping the Cerebral Organoid Landscape: A Systematic Review of Preclinical 3D Models in Neuroscience

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Cerebral organoids are transforming brain research, yet the field remains fragmented. This comprehensive systematic review maps 738 studies published between 2014 and 2024 to uncover trends, gaps, and opportunities across neuroscience. Introducing OrganoidMap—an interactive, open‐access platform to explore and compare models—this work enables ...
