Description preview

Summary.
Despite effective antiretrovirals (ARV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) spreads within the central nervous

system (CNS) and establishes persistent infection precipitating cognitive impairment (CI). Recent findings

suggest that HIV protein (namely VPR) expression in the brain activates the inflammasome pathway in neurons

leading to…
