Phase I study of efineptakin alfa (NT-I7) for the treatment of Kaposi sarcoma
Background CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia and immune dysfunction are factors that drive the onset and persistence of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in people with (PWH) and without HIV. Standard chemotherapy agents for KS can contribute to increasing CD4+ T cell lymphocytopenia. IL-7 is a cytokine that is essential in T-cell development, proliferation and homeostasis. In PWH, IL-7… Continue reading Phase I study of efineptakin alfa (NT-I7) for the treatment of Kaposi sarcoma
Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 skews adaptive immune repertoires towards specific sets of T and B cell receptors
Conformational activation and disulfide exchange in HIV-1 Env induce cell-free lytic/fusogenic transformation and enhance infection
Longitudinal changes in the transcriptionally active and intact HIV reservoir after starting ART during acute infection
The synthesis and investigation of novel 3-benzoylbenzofurans and pyrazole derivatives for anti-HIV activity.
The emergence of drug-resistant viruses continues to be an obstacle to effectively controlling the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The development of novel drugs with high potency and the ability to fully eradicate HIV-1 infections is therefore of critical importance. Novel pyrazole derivatives were synthesized from 3-benzoylbenzofurans and characterized by mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)… Continue reading The synthesis and investigation of novel 3-benzoylbenzofurans and pyrazole derivatives for anti-HIV activity.
Targeting Ikaros and Aiolos with pomalidomide fails to reactivate or induce apoptosis of the latent HIV reservoir
