Weekly Oral Tenofovir Alafenamide Protects Macaques from Vaginal and Rectal Simian HIV Infection

Pharmaceutics
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with a weekly oral regimen of antiretroviral drugs could be a suitable preventative option for individuals who struggle with daily PrEP or prefer not to use long-acting injectables.

HIV testing and HIV prevention in Sweden [PDF]

BMJ, 1998
HIV testing is central to Sweden's programme of preventing the spread of HIV infection. It has been widely promoted and encouraged on the grounds that once HIV infected people are aware of their serostatus and receive appropriate counselling, they will take the necessary steps to protect their partners.1 This faith in the inclination of citizens to ...

Microneedles Mediated Delivery of Nanodiamonds for Quantum Sensing of Free Radicals in Skin Tissue

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fluorescent nanodiamonds are nanoscale sensors capable of monitoring cellular stress responses. However, to function effectively, they must be delivered into cells or tissues. Here, we demonstrate their application in the skin by developing a dissolvable microneedle platform that dissolves after skin insertion, enabling the delivery of nanodiamonds ...

Modulation of miR‐23b Wnt/β‐catenin Axis Strengthens Endothelial Barrier Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Early blood‐brain barrier (BBB) disruption contributes to stroke and CNS disease pathology. miR‐23b was identified as a regulator of BBB integrity in brain endothelial cells. Inhibition of miR‐23b enhanced barrier‐associated properties, promoted repair‐related signaling, and reduced BBB leakage in experimental stroke models, supporting further ...

Microbicides for HIV prevention

The Indian Journal of Medical Research, 2011
Although the HIV incidence rate has slowed in some countries, HIV remains a serious health challenge, particularly in the developing world. The epidemic is increasingly feminised, with young women at high risk of acquiring the virus. There is thus a clear requirement for acceptable woman-initiated methods of HIV prevention.

Attomolar Detection of HIV‐1 With Label‐Free RCA‐rCRISPR on Smartphone

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new diagnostic strategy integrating rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a plasmid reporter–based ratiometric CRISPR (rCRISPR) system was developed to detect unfragmented HIV genomes with single‐digit attomolar sensitivity. The method quantifies targets using the plasmid relaxation ratio and employs a smartphone‐based mini‐gel device to enable ...

Dual Blockade of LILRB1 and LILRB2 Enhances Antiviral Immune Responses in SIV Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual LILRB1/B2 blockade with mac20G10 reshapes myeloid activation during acute SIV infection by targeting LILRB1 and LILRB2 on myeloid cells. This treatment enhances CD80 expression on selected myeloid subsets and increases plasma IFN‐λ, IL‐8, and IL‐1RA.

Targeted Degradation of Picornaviral 3C Protease via PROTACs Confers High Barrier to Viral Resistance and Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports D34 as the first PROTAC degrader that targets the 3C protease of picornaviruses. D34 effectively degrades EV71 3C protease via the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway. More importantly, D34 exhibits a high resistance barrier and shows broad‐spectrum antiviral activity against multiple picornaviruses, highlighting its potential as a novel ...

Programmable Nanobody‐Targeting Chimeras Enable Intracellular Viral Protein Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nab‐TAC enables targeted degradation of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in vivo. By fusing nanobody‐based recognition domains with programmable proteasome‐recruiting degradation signals, Nab‐TAC reduces HBsAg levels in a hydrodynamic HBV mouse model. ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health challenge, largely because
