Human Coronavirus 229E Uses ORF4/4a to Antagonize the Host Restriction Factor SERINC5
The seasonal human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 are common causes of mild respiratory infections but can cause severe disease in vulnerable individuals. Serine incorporator 5 (SERINC5) efficiently inhibits OC43, while hCoV‐229E uses its ORF4/4a accessory proteins to efficiently counteract this restriction by promoting relocalization of SERINC5 to ...

Abstract Membrane fusion between HIV and host cells requires interaction between the N‐terminal and C‐terminal repeat regions (NHR and CHR) of the gp41 envelope subunit. A deep hydrophobic pocket (HP) on the surface of NHR is considered crucial in this interaction.

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care: Second Edition (2026)
Injury is a major cause of death and disability globally, with the highest burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Strengthening the organization and planning for trauma care (care of the injured) can improve care and lower mortality. In 2004, the International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC) and the World Health ...

T‐Cell Biology in the Female Reproductive Tract: Relevance to HIV Infection
ABSTRACT Worldwide, most HIV infections occur across a mucosal surface during sexual contact, with women accounting for nearly half of reported new HIV infections across the globe in 2024. Most new infections in women and girls are believed to involve transmission across mucosal surfaces of the lower reproductive tract, which includes the vagina and ...

ABSTRACT HIV transmission through the female and male reproductive tracts is governed by spatially organized interactions between virions, epithelial barriers, and tissue‐resident immune cells. Imaging approaches have been central to defining these earliest events, progressing from classical histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to modern ...

The HIV Reservoir in the Female Reproductive Tract
ABSTRACT Antiretrovirals can prevent the spread of replicating HIV within the host and decrease the virus in plasma to levels undetectable in clinical assays, and in genital secretions to untransmissible levels. However, during effective treatment with antiretrovirals, infectious HIV persists lifelong because the virus integrates into the host's DNA ...

The impact of accumulating immune adaptation in circulating strains of HIV‐1
Abstract Background Mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) enable the virus to evade recognition and killing by human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐restricted T cells. These viral adaptations are specific to the HLA type of individuals and are therefore evident as HLA allele‐HIV sequence associations at the population level. Most studies of

Abstract Objectives Low‐level viremia (LLV) has been associated with an increased risk of virological failure among adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, evidence on the clinical implications of LLV among adolescents living with HIV remains limited.

ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates (NHPs) have emerged as an indispensable model for studying HIV pathogenesis, vaccines, and therapies. The development of chimeric Simian/Human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs) has been constructed by inserting HIV‐1 Env into the SIV (usually SIVmac239) backbone, and these have proved essential for evaluating HIV neutralizing ...
