Does Male Circumcision Protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections? Arguments and Meta-Analyses to the Contrary Fail to Withstand Scrutiny.

ISRN urology

Morris BJ, Hankins CA, Tobian AA, Krieger JN, Klausner JD.
PMID: 24944836
ISRN Urol. 2014 May 13;2014:684706. doi: 10.1155/2014/684706. eCollection 2014.

We critically evaluate a recent article by Van Howe involving 12 meta-analyses that concludes, contrary to current evidence, that male circumcision increases the risk of various common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Our detailed scrutiny reveals that these meta-analyses (1)...

Background.  Stimulant-using men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition. Contingency Management (CM) is a robust substance abuse intervention that provides voucher-based incentives for stimulant-use abstinence. Methods.  We conducted a...

Two-way Bayesian hierarchical phylogenetic models: An application to the co-evolution of gp120 and gp41 during and after enfuvirtide treatment.

Computational statistics & data analysis

Enfuvirtide (ENF) is a fusion inhibitor that prevents the entry of HIV virions into target cells. Studying the characteristics of viral evolution during treatment and after a treatment interruption can lend insight into the mechanisms of viral evolution and...

Tocilizumab attenuates inflammation in ALS patients through inhibition of IL6 receptor signaling.

American journal of neurodegenerative disease

Mizwicki MT, Fiala M, Magpantay L, Aziz N, Sayre J, Liu G, Siani A, Chan D, Martinez-Maza O, Chattopadhyay M, La Cava A.

The remarkable progress in engineering and clinical development of therapeutic antibodies in the last 40 years, after the seminal work by Köhler and Milstein, has led to the approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of...

Dendritic cell-targeted lentiviral vector immunization uses pseudotransduction and DNA-mediated STING and cGAS activation.

Science immunology

Kim JT, Liu Y, Kulkarni RP, Lee KK, Dai B, Lovely G, Ouyang Y, Wang P, Yang L, Baltimore D.
PMID: 28733470
Sci Immunol. 2017 Jul 21;2(13). doi: 10.1126/sciimmunol.aal1329.

Dendritic cell (DC) activation and antigen presentation are critical for efficient priming of T cell responses. Here, we study how lentiviral vectors (LVs) deliver antigen and activate DCs to generate T cell immunization in vivo. We report that antigenic...
