Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

HIV persistence in the setting of antiretroviral therapy: when, where and how does HIV hide?

Journal of Virus Eradication, 2015
Advances in the treatment of HIV infection have dramatically reduced the death rate from AIDS and improved the quality of life of many HIV-infected individuals. However, the possible long-term toxicity associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART), stigma

Update on HIV reservoirs [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2010
Aim During combination antiretroviral therapy, reduction of HIV-1 RNA levels to less than 50 copies/ml is frequently achieved; however, residual low-level viremia has been detected using ultrasensitive assays. The source of persistent viremia is currently unknown: it could arise from ongoing cycles of replication in a sanctuary site, long-lived ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Playing Hide-and-Seek: Understanding the TFH Cell Reservoir and Proposing Strategies to Overcome the Follicle Sanctuary

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects millions of people worldwide, and new cases continue to emerge. Once infected, the virus cannot be cleared by the immune system and causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Organ‐Specific Human Microbiomes and Dysbiosis: Mechanistic Links to Disease and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the human microbiome and major microbiota‐derived metabolites across body sites, highlighting the gut–brain, gut–heart, and gut–kidney axes in host physiology and disease. ABSTRACT Background The human microbiome is a dynamic and diverse community of microorganisms that affects susceptibility to illness and promotes wellness ...

Noncanonical-NF-κB activation and DDX3 inhibition reduces the HIV-1 reservoir by elimination of latently infected cells ex-vivo

Microbiology Spectrum
Latency reversal and subsequent elimination of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) reservoir using a combination of compounds with different mechanisms of action are considered a promising tool for HIV-1 cure.

Prevention of SIVmac251 reservoir seeding in rhesus monkeys by early antiretroviral therapy

Nature Communications, 2018
The latent HIV-1 reservoir is the key obstacle for curing HIV-1 infection, but the timepoint at which the HIV-1 reservoir is established is currently unclear. Here, Whitney et al.

Update on HIV reservoirs [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2014
The stable latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting memory CD4+ T cells is a major barrier to curing HIV-1/AIDS. Studies on HIV-1 latency focused on regulation and reactivation of viral gene expression in the cells in which viral latent infection is already established. However, it is not well understood how virus becomes latent.

Association Between HIV Infection Duration and Left Ventricular Concentric Remodeling and Myocardial Fibrosis: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using Cardiac MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV into a chronic condition, yet cardiac injury remains a major issue. Purpose To assess the ability of cardiac MR imaging markers to predict cardiac injury and disease progression in HIV‐infected individuals. Study Type Prospective.
