Engineering strategies of Anti-HIV antibody therapeutics in clinical development.

Purpose Of Review: Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody-based therapeutics offer an alternative treatment option to current antiretroviral drugs. This review aims to provide an overview of the Fc- and Fab-engineering strategies that have been developed to optimize broadly neutralizing antibodies and discuss recent findings from preclinical and clinical studies.

Recent Findings: Multispecific antibodies, including bispecific and trispecific antibodies, DART molecules, and BiTEs, as well as Fc-optimized antibodies, have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of HIV.

Pentad: A reproducible cytoarchitectonic protocol and its application to parcellation of the human hippocampus.

Introduction: The hippocampus is integral for learning and memory and is targeted by multiple diseases. Neuroimaging approaches frequently use hippocampal subfield volumes as a standard measure of neurodegeneration, thus making them an essential biomarker to study. Collectively, histologic parcellation studies contain various disagreements, discrepancies, and omissions.
