Researchers reveal role of polyphenols in regulating inflammatory immune r
Updated : 1 month ago IST
PCB2DG, an anti-inflammatory polyphenol, inhibits glutamine absorption by targeting and directly interacting with the main glutamine transporter protein, alanine serine cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2). This reduction in intracellular glutamine accumulation in CD4+ T cells also inhibits the pr

Researchers discover two separate reservoirs of latent HIV in patients
Updated : 1 month, 3 weeks ago IST
When HIV patients get antiviral medication (ART), their viral levels are reduced to the point that a conventional blood test cannot detect the virus. However, once ART is discontinued, detectable HIV resurfaces, infecting new cells. The cells that release the virus to re-ignite the infection
