Researchers report brain scans showed deficits in an area of the brain associated with cognitive function in older individuals with HIV who scored 'cognitively normal' in tests.
Researchers discover levels of certain fats found in the CSF may predict which HIV patients are more likely to suffer from cognitive impairment.
HIV infection prevents myelin-associated oligodendrocytes from maturing, this, in turn, hampers white matter production in the brain.
A new study reports people with Hepatitis B are up to 76% more likely to develop Parkinson's disease, and those with Hep C are 51% more likely to develop the disease.
Study reveals a moderate correlation between depression and mortality in veterans with HIV, but not among those without HIV infection.
A newly discovered subset of dendritic cells have been implicated in sexually transmitted HIV infection. The CD11c+ dendritic cells are found in human genital tissue at the epithelial level. They are the first immune cells to interact with the HIV virus. The cells directly transfer the virus to CD4 T cells, making them key drivers in HIV transmission.
HIV can persist in the nervous system, even when the virus is suppressed. Even when the virus is suppressed, neurocognitive problems associated with the infection can persist.
Researchers have discovered a unique epigenetic footprint in specific immune cells that can identify people with HIV who have impaired cognitive function.
Study is first to show feasibility and efficacy of a new use for autologous stem cell transplant. For the first...
Researchers have developed a method using MRI to identify when HIV is still present in the brain, despite effective drug treatment.
Common antiretroviral therapies used to treat HIV/AIDS can disrupt the function of oligodendrocytes which are critical for the manufacturing of myelin, a new study reports.
Researchers pinpoint a method to neutralize the Botox toxin.
