This study examines cytokine profiles in HIV-exposed and unexposed children and their mothers, finding persistent immune alterations in HEU children linked to maternal HIV.

Using short-read 16S rRNA sequencing of multiple variable regions to generate high-quality results to a species level.

This paper evaluates using short-read 16S rRNA sequencing of multiple variable regions to achieve species-level resolution and assesses sample collection impacts on results.

Distinct alterations in white matter properties and organization related to maternal treatment initiation in neonates exposed to HIV but uninfected

The paper examines how the timing of maternal ART initiation affects white matter integrity and organization in HIV-exposed uninfected neonates using DTI and graph theory.
