A coat of many colors: neuroimmune crosstalk in human immunodeficiency virus infection.

13 Oct 2009 The use of antiretroviral therapy has reduced mortality and increased the quality of life of HIV-1-infected people, particularly in more developed countries where access to treatment is more widespread. However, morbidities continue, which include ... Read more...

Innate and adaptive autoimmunity directed to the central nervous system.

13 Oct 2009 The immune system has two major components, an innate arm and an adaptive arm. Certain autoimmune diseases of the brain represent examples of disorders where one of these constituents plays a major role. Some rare autoimmune diseases involve ... Read more...

Immune activation in brain aging and neurodegeneration: too much or too little?

13 Oct 2009 Until recently, the brain was studied almost exclusively by neuroscientists and the immune system by immunologists, fuelling the notion that these systems represented two isolated entities. However, as more data suggest an important role of the ... Read more...
