This study shows that advanced HIV infection leads to high intra-host SARS-CoV-2 spike diversity and adaptive evolution, potentially contributing to new variants of concern.

This study identifies five HIV-1 nef gene polymorphisms significantly associated with increased plasma ICAM-1 levels, suggesting a link between Nef genetic variation and endothelial activation.

The paper analyzes the foreskin microbiome and host gene expression in adolescents from South Africa and Uganda, finding no treatment effect on bacterial communities but inverse correlations between bacterial abundance and inflammatory gene expression.

This paper develops a fluorogenic trehalose analog to detect live mycobacteria, showing it can label Mtb in clinical samples and is reduced by TB drugs.
