- Expanded adaptive NKG2C+ NK cells exhibit potent ADCC and functional responses against HBV-infected hepatoma cell linesby Jonida Kokiçi on June 12, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates the first successful expansion of adaptive NK cells with robust functional responses from donors with chronic viral infection. This approach creates opportunities for NK cell-based therapies alone or in combination with monoclonal antibodies contributing to HBV functional cure strategies and the treatment of HBV-driven cancers.
- Global proteomic analysis of Cryptococcus neoformans clinical strains reveals significant differences between latent and lethal infectionby Jovany J Betancourt on June 12, 2025
To predict the outcomes of disseminated fungal disease, a deeper understanding of host-pathogen interactions at the site of infection is needed to identify targets for clinical intervention and diagnostic development. Cryptococcus neoformans is the causative agent of cryptococcosis, the largest infectious killer of individuals living with HIV. Cryptococcal infection begins in the lungs, with loss of immunological control leading to disseminated central nervous system disease and death. Using...
- The genomic legacy of selectively breeding rhesus macaques for HIV/AIDS-related researchby M M Lyke on June 12, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: We show that colony management strategies have been successful without reducing genetic diversity of the MHC or exonic regions. We also show that colony genetic substructure is related to animal colony source and that mergers and migrations have reduced inbreeding and increased overall genetic diversity.
- Direct pharmacological AMPK activation inhibits mucosal SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing lipid metabolism, restoring autophagy flux and the type I IFN responseby Andrea Cottignies-Calamarte on June 12, 2025
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a central role in regulating cell energy balance. When activated, AMPK suppresses energy-consuming pathways, such as lipid and protein synthesis, while increasing nutrient availability through the activation of autophagy. These pathways downstream of AMPK activation contribute to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which hijacks autophagy and accumulates lipid droplets in viral factories to support viral replication. Here, we assessed the antiviral activity of the...
