Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kami C Krista"
- Kami C Krista's research primarily investigates the effects of HIV infection on the immune system, particularly focusing on innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in children infected from birth.
- The 2020 study published in Cell Reports reveals severe and persistent depletion of circulating ILCs in vertically HIV-infected children, contrasting with the partial restoration of CD4 T cells through long-term antiretroviral therapy.
- Findings indicate that antiretroviral therapy must be initiated at birth to potentially restore ILC levels, highlighting the critical need for early intervention in managing HIV in infected infants.
