Tentative T Cells: Memory Cells Are Quick to Respond, but Slow to Divide

T cell memory is a cornerstone of protective immunity, and is the key element in successful vaccination. Upon encountering the relevant pathogen, memory T cells are thought to initiate cell division much more rapidly than their naïve counterparts, and this is thought to confer a significant biological advantage upon an immune host. Here, we use traceable TCR-transgenic T cells to evaluate this ...

Quick reference guide to antiretrovirals.

Antiretroviral therapy continues to rapidly evolve and complex drug interactions are common. The quick reference guide is an attempt to summarize the following aspects of highly active antiretroviral treatment in concise tables: dosing of antiretroviral agents; drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral agents; antiretroviral resistance mutations and interactions of antiretroviral agents wit...

Quick reference guide to apixaban

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used in the clinical setting for patients at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and/or stroke. These medications offer valued benefits for long-term use, including a fast onset of anticoagulation, fixed anticoagulation profile (and consequent prescription of specified doses) and no requirement for routine monitoring. Apixaban is a sele...
