Co-exposure to methamphetamine (METH) abuse and HIV infection exacerbates central nervous system damage. However, the underlying mechanisms of this process remain poorly understood. This study aims to explore the roles of neuronal autophagy in the synergistic damage to the central nervous system caused by METH and HIV proteins.

Background: HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children are at increased risk of morbidity during the first years of life. Although the immune responses of HEU infants in early-life are relatively well described, studies of natural killer (NK) cells in older HEU children are lacking. NK cell subsets were analysed in HEU children and compared to those in HIV unexposed uninfected (HUU) children aged ~ five years.

During male-to-female transmission, HIV-1 must cross the mucosal epithelium of the female reproductive tract to gain access to underlying target cells. Previously, we demonstrated that HIV-1 can penetrate intact columnar and squamous genital epithelia in both and systems. We found that the virus enters the squamous epithelium via a diffusion-based mechanism, but the mechanism of entry in columnar epithelium remained elusive.

Viruses may significantly increase the likelihood of developing intrauterine fetal growth restriction (FGR). The goal of this study was to examine and compare the virome of normal and FGR placentas using proteomic techniques.

Despite increased uptake of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among pregnant people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), vertical transmission remains the most important route of pediatric HIV acquisition. The numbers of HIV acquisitions in infancy have remained alarmingly stagnant in recent years. It is evident that additional strategies that can synergize with ART will be required to end the pediatric HIV epidemic.
