Plasma Glycomic Markers of Accelerated Biological Aging During Chronic HIV Infection

This study identifies glycomic alterations in HIV-positive individuals that correlate with accelerated aging and comorbidities, suggesting potential biomarkers for early detection.

Human Galectin-9 Promotes the Expansion of HIV Reservoirs in vivo in Humanized Mice

This study shows that Gal-9 treatment during ART increases HIV DNA and RNA in tissues of humanized mice, suggesting it promotes HIV persistence.

Markers of Fungal Translocation Are Elevated During Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Induce NF-κB Triggered Inflammation.

This study identifies elevated fungal translocation markers in PASC patients, which induce NF-κB inflammation through Dectin-1 signaling.

COVID-19 Severity Is Associated with Differential Antibody Fc-mediated Innate Immune Functions

The paper examines how differences in antibody-mediated innate immune functions correlate with COVID-19 severity.

Phospholipid Metabolism Is Associated with HIV Rebound Upon Treatment Interruption

This study links phospholipid and lysophospholipid levels to faster HIV rebound after treatment interruption, suggesting their role in viral persistence and inflammation.

Non-Invasive Plasma Glycomic and Metabolic Biomarkers of Post-treatment Control of HIV

This study identifies non-invasive plasma glycomic and metabolic biomarkers that predict viral rebound after HIV treatment interruption with high accuracy.

Glycosylation of Zika Virus Is Important in Host-Virus Interaction and Pathogenesis

This study maps N-glycans on ZIKV E proteins and shows their role in viral entry via host lectins, highlighting their importance in pathogenesis.

Laboratory surrogate markers of residual HIV replication among distinct groups of individuals under antiretroviral therapy

The paper assesses residual HIV replication markers in different ART-treated groups, finding higher episomal DNA in virologic failure and correlations with ART duration and T-cell counts.
