Immuno-epidemiology and pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Omalla A. Olwenyi,Shetty Ravi Dyavar,Arpan Acharya,Anthony T. Podany,Courtney V. Fletcher,Caroline L. Ng,St Patrick Reid,Siddappa N. Byrareddy +7 more
TL;DR: How changes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome and its structural architecture affect viral replication, immune evasion, and transmission within different human populations is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic morphine administration differentially modulates viral reservoirs in SIVmac251 infected rhesus macaque model.

TL;DR: Results suggest that in the proposed model, morphine plays a differential role in SIV reservoirs by reducing the CD4+ T-cell reservoir in lymphoid tissues while increasing the microglia/macrophage reservoir size in CNS tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing intracellular signaling domains for CAR NK cells in HIV immunotherapy: a comprehensive review.
TL;DR: The role of NK cells in HIV and the mechanisms of actions of HIV-targeting CAR strategies are discussed and signal transduction and its application to CAR NK cell strategies to develop new combinations of CAR intracellular domains and to improve CAR NK signaling and cytotoxic functions are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
