Early tuberculosis treatment remodels blood mRNA and small RNA, and a baseline host signature is associated with early culture conversion

This study identifies blood-based biomarkers that predict early tuberculosis culture conversion by analyzing mRNA and small RNA changes during treatment.

Persistent Microglial HIV Infection Drives Neuroinflammation Despite Viral Suppression: Insights from Rapid Postmortem Brain Biopsies

The paper quantifies HIV persistence in microglia and shows transcriptional changes in microglia and other cell types despite ART, highlighting microglia as a key target for CNS HIV cure strategies.
