Article Synopsis
- Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is important for fighting pathogens, but too much or too little can cause tissue damage and inflammation.
- The new HOClSense dyes use a chlorination-based mechanism to provide detailed visualization of HOCl levels in sub-cellular environments, offering both switch-on and switch-off detection with different emission colors.
- Researchers demonstrated HOClSense's effectiveness by mapping HOCl in cell structures like plasma membranes and lysosomes, revealing insights into HOCl production in diseases like Niemann-Pick.
Objective: Heavy drinking poses serious risks to individuals with HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and especially HIV/HCV coinfection. We adapted the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Clinician's Guide to address HIV/HCV coinfection and paired this with the "HealthCall" smartphone app to create an intervention tailored to HIV/HCV. After formative work and pretesting with HIV/HCV coinfected heavy drinkers, we conducted a pilot trial to determine potential of this new intervention for decreasing drinking.
