Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

LEDGF/p75-independent HIV-1 replication demonstrates a role for HRP-2 and remains sensitive to inhibition by LEDGINs. [PDF]
Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) is a cellular cofactor of HIV-1 integrase (IN) that interacts with IN through its IN binding domain (IBD) and tethers the viral pre-integration complex to the host cell chromatin.

Week 96 efficacy and safety results of the phase 3, randomized EMERALD trial to evaluate switching from boosted-protease inhibitors plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate regimens to the once daily, single-tablet regimen of darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) in treatment-experienced, virologically-suppressed adults living with HIV-1 [PDF]
Darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) 800/150/200/10 mg was investigated through 96 weeks in EMERALD (NCT02269917). Virologically-suppressed, HIV-1-positive treatment-experienced adults (previous non-darunavir virologic ...

A Mathematical Model for Allergic Reactions Induced by the Therapy of HIV
ABSTRACT A new mathematical model for cell evolution in HIV is introduced and studied. Delay differential equations are used to capture the dynamics of immune system cells involved in allergies, as well as the evolution of HIV viruses, infected and uninfected CD4+$$ {}^{+} $$ cells, and cytotoxic T‐lymphocytes, under specific antiretroviral therapy ...

In vitro HIV-1 LTR integration into T-cell activation gene CD27 segment and the decoy effect of modified-sequence DNA. [PDF]
Integration into the host genome is an essential step in the HIV-1 life cycle. However, the host genome sequence that is favored by HIV-1 during integration has never been documented.

Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction in people living with HIV is a multifactorial disease, but the role of penile vascular status assessed by dynamic penile color Doppler echography is underexplored. Objectives This study assessed penile vascular status in young males living with HIV experiencing erectile dysfunction, comparing them to HIV ...
