This study shows that IRF7 deficiency worsens influenza A disease in mice, independent of TLR7, by impairing early interferon responses and adaptive immunity.

This study shows that long-term ART in SIV-infected macaques reduces acute inflammation but maintains chronic macrophage and TLR-driven inflammation linked to vascular damage and aging.

This study shows that caloric restriction in SIV-infected rhesus macaques reduces acute viremia, dampens inflammation, and improves metabolic function, but does not affect viral persistence.

This study examines how antiretroviral therapy (ART) affects macrophage movement in and out of the CNS in SIV-infected macaques, showing ART reduces perivascular macrophage accumulation but not meningeal or choroid plexus macrophages.

The nonhuman primate model mirrors the epidemiology of human congenital CMV (cCMV) after primary infection and reveals its transmission bottlenecks.

The paper characterizes the diversity and evolution of the Msg gene superfamily across Pneumocystis species, revealing its functional roles in immune evasion and host adaptation.
