Targeting STAT3 in Cancer with Nucleotide Therapeutics. [PDF]
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) plays a critical role in promoting the proliferation and survival of tumor cells. As a ubiquitously-expressed transcription factor, STAT3 has commonly been considered an "undruggable" target for ...

Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker Usage Prevents Oxidative Stress and Muscle Dysfunction in HIV
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to elucidate the role of Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker usage in muscle wasting and dysfunction related to HIV. Research Design and Methods Appendicular skeletal muscle mass, higher and lower limb strength, and physical fitness were determined in people living with HIV (PWH) using AT1R blockers users (n = 33),

Summary HIV remains a significant health concern, but the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed it into a manageable chronic condition. However, weight gain and obesity pose a substantial challenge for people living with HIV (PLWH). Moreover, the role of lifestyle has not yet been comprehensively investigated.

Maraviroc (Celsentri) in HIV treatment
Since 1996, the prognosis of people living with immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has improved significantly, due to highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) based on a combination of 3-4 anti-HIV drugs; the

Analyses of HIV-1 integrase sequences prior to South African national HIV-treatment program and available of integrase inhibitors in Cape Town, South Africa [PDF]
HIV-Integrase (IN) has proven to be a viable target for highly specific HIV-1 therapy. We aimed to characterize the HIV-1 IN gene in a South African context and identify resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) against available first and second ...

The Complex Role of CD8+ T Cells in Placental HIV Infection
CD8+ T cells exhibit dual roles at the maternal‐fetal interface supporting tolerance via IL‐10 and TGF‐β and aiding implantation and vascular remodeling through TNF‐α and IFN‐γ. In HIV infection, CD8+ T cells expand, driving inflammation, PD‐L1 upregulation on trophoblasts, and cytotoxic dysfunction via reduced Granzyme B and Perforin, compromising ...
