Novel Approaches for Investigating Host Responses to HIV Infection in Ex Vivo Human Genital Tissues

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding local immune responses and the structural integrity of the genital mucosal barrier is essential for advancing knowledge of both susceptibility to sexual HIV transmission and the pathogenesis of chronic HIV infection. This review highlights innovative methodologies for investigating host responses to HIV infection using ex vivo ...

Beyond the Barrier: Epithelial Cells as Immune Sentinels in the Female Genital Tract

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Epithelial cells (ECs) of the female genital tract (FGT) serve as an essential barrier and the first line of defense against sexually transmitted pathogens. Beyond providing a physical barrier, these cells actively contribute to immune responses through pathogen recognition, cytokine release, and modulation of adaptive immune responses ...

Anaerobe‐Driven Inflammation and Epithelial Barrier Disruption in Genital HIV Acquisition

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Genital microbiome dysbiosis is an important risk factor for the sexual acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in both the male and female genital tracts. The vaginal, penile and urethral mucosae are distinct microenvironments with characteristic microbiome compositions.

Tenofovir, Interferon Pathways, and Mucosal Immunity: Implications for People Living With HIV

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV replication and protects people living with HIV (PLWH) from progressing to AIDS. However, despite ART, many PLWH experience chronic immune activation, which contributes to premature aging and non‐AIDS‐related comorbidities. One reason for this chronic immune activation (CIA) is HIV and its

Severe HCoV‐OC43 Pneumonia in a 25‐Year‐Old Woman Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.
This case reports a 25‐year‐old allo‐HCT recipient with severe HCoV‐OC43 pneumonia who responded well to off‐label nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. It is the first such report that show the drug may benefit immunocompromised patients with this infection, though further studies are needed to confirm efficacy.

A Phase 1 Multiple‐Dose, Open‐Label, Pharmacokinetic Study of Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir in Healthy Lactating Women

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, pregnant women and those with a recent pregnancy (i.e., lactating) are considered at high risk of developing severe COVID‐19 and qualify for treatment with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir.

Enzymatic synthesis of bioactive quinolones and (thio)coumarins by fungal type III polyketide synthases

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2673-2691, May 2026.
Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...

Considerations for the Use of AAV‐based Gene Therapy in HIV‐Positive Individuals With Haemophilia

Haemophilia, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 584-592, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among the haemophilia community due to treatment in the 1970s and 1980s with contaminated clotting factor. Lifelong treatment regimens for haemophilia and HIV are burdensome alone and pose a particular challenge for individuals living with both conditions ...

Virological outcomes with Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in people previously treated with darunavir‐based antiretroviral therapy

HIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 803-808, May 2026.
Abstract Background Darunavir‐based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is commonly used in people with HIV who experience adherence challenges and/or have complex resistance patterns. Changes in ART commissioning have led to an increased use of Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in these populations despite limited real‐world outcome ...
