Front Immunol . 2024 Nov; 15:1415475. PMID: 39569196
Introduction: Tight junctions (TJs) serve as permeability filters between the internal and external cellular environment. A large number of proteins have been identified to be localized at the TJs. Due...

EBioMedicine . 2023 Jun; 93:104648. PMID: 37327677
Background: The efficacy of on-demand HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for men in sub-Saharan Africa has not been evaluated, and the on-demand PrEP dosing requirement for insertive sex remains unknown. Methods:...

AIDS . 2023 Jun; 37(11):1651-1659. PMID: 37289572
Objectives: As topical pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been shown to cause immune modulation in rectal or cervical tissue, our aim was to examine the impact of oral PrEP on lymphoid...

Front Immunol . 2022 Aug; 13:965214. PMID: 35967369
HIV-1 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) relies on inhibition of HIV-1 replication steps. To understand how PrEP modulates the immunological environment, we derived the plasma proteomic profile of men receiving emtricitabine-tenofovir (FTC-TDF)...
