We have shown that virus-specific CD4 and CD8 memory T cells (TM) induce autophagy after T cell receptor (TCR) engagement to provide free glutamine and fatty acids, including in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). These nutrients fuel mitochondrial ATP generation through glutaminolysis and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) pathways, to fulfill the bioenergetic demands for optimal IL-21 and cytotoxic molecule production in CD4 and CD8 cells, respectively. Here, we expand our knowledge on how the metabolic events that occur in the mitochondria of virus-specific TM down-stream of the autophagy are regulated.

Mangroves play a crucial role in filtering pollutants from water and sediments. However, excessive accumulation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has harmful effects on marine organisms. This article investigates the concentration and distribution of PTEs in water, sediment, and the roots of endangered mangrove species in Chabahar Bay, a subtropical coastal wetland.

Article Synopsis
  • Monkeypox (Mpox) is an Orthopoxvirus causing skin blisters with a mortality rate of 0-10% and has seen an increase in cases since the end of global smallpox vaccinations.
  • This review discusses updates on Mpox's transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, highlighting the role of AI in predicting the disease.
  • Key prevention strategies involve PCR testing for early detection, vaccination with JYNNEOS and ACAM2000, and minimizing contact with symptomatic individuals, similar to STI prevention practices.
