CNS as an HIV-1 reservoir; BBB and drug delivery.
In September of last year, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) sponsored an AIDS Program Panel meeting entitled `CNS as an HIV-1 Reservoir: BBB and Drug Delivery'. The main objective of this highly focused meeting was to discuss the latest understandings of systemic drug delivery to the brain and the dif®culties which may be associated with developing optimal tre...
متن کاملHIV-associated opportunistic infections of the CNS.
Survival in people infected with HIV has improved because of an increasingly powerful array of antiretroviral treatments, but neurological symptoms due to comorbid conditions, including infection with hepatitis C virus, malnutrition, and the effects of accelerated cardiovascular disease and ageing, are increasingly salient. A therapeutic gap seems to exist between the salutary effects of antire...
متن کاملThe CNS and bladder dysfunction
The brain's role in the development and maintenance of bladder control is critical, although its precise role in patient-reported complaints such as urgency and urine leakage is unknown. Functional brain imaging studies have advanced our knowledge of brain activity during the micturition cycle, showing multiple neuronal circuits involved as parts of a 'brain-bladder control network.' Yet, new a...
متن کاملTranslational CNS medicines research.
The major imperative of the pharmaceutical industry is to effectively translate insights gained from basic research into new medicines. This task is toughest for CNS disorders. Compared with non-CNS drugs, CNS drugs take longer to get to market and their attrition rate is greater. This is principally because of the complexity of the human brain (the cause of many brain disorders remains unknown...
متن کاملCNS reservoirs for HIV: implications for eradication
Controversy exists as to whether the central nervous system (CNS) serves as a reservoir site for HIV, in part reflecting the varying perspectives on what constitutes a 'reservoir' versus a mere site of latent viral integration. However, if the CNS proves to be a site of HIV persistence capable of replicating and reseeding the periphery, leading to failure of virological control, this privileged...
