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 dietary indoles restore gut barrier function in SIV-infected macaques by reactivating the AhR-IL-22 pathway, reducing intestinal epithelial barrier disruption markers.

This study optimizes in vitro expansion of Vδ1+ γδT cells from nonhuman primate PBMCs using CD3 or PHA stimulation with cytokines and phospho-vitamin C, achieving high-fold expansions.

This study links elevated IL-1β and IL-18 levels with gut barrier disruption and monocyte activation in SIV-infected macaques on long-term ART, suggesting a role in CVD and metabolic complications.
