Objective: This systematic review aimed to assess the evidence on sexual transmission of HIV in high-income settings between serodiscordant couples where the index partner infected with HIV is on antiretroviral therapy.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analyses.

Methods: We performed a systematic search in four databases: Embase, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science on September 24, 2022.

Substance P and neurokinin A are closely related neuropeptides belonging to the tachykinin family. Their receptors are neurokinin one receptor (NK1R) and neurokinin two receptor (NK2R), G protein-coupled receptors that transmit G and G-mediated downstream signaling. We investigate the importance of sequence differences at the bottom of the receptor orthosteric site for activity and selectivity, focusing on residues that closely interact with the C-terminal methionine of the peptide ligands.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers found out that when FVIIa and TF work together, they change shape and function in complex ways that help the blood clotting process.
  • * Scientists are learning how to control FVIIa activity better, which could help in the future to improve treatments for blood clotting issues.

Inherited bleeding disorders such as Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) lack prophylactic treatment options. As a result, serious bleeding episodes are treated acutely with blood product transfusions or frequent, repeated intravenous administration of recombinant activated coagulation factor VII (rFVIIa). Here we describe HMB-001, a bispecific antibody designed to bind and accumulate endogenous FVIIa and deliver it to sites of vascular injury by targeting it to the TREM (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells)-like transcript-1 (TLT-1) receptor that is selectively expressed on activated platelets.
