  1. HIV-1 infection and cognitive impairment in the cART era: a review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. AIDS (London, England) 2011-03-01 Tau biomarkers

    With the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy AIDS dementia complex or HIV-associated dementia, as it was termed later, largely disappeared in clinical practice.

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid neopterin: an informative biomarker of central nervous system immune activation in HIV-1 infection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. AIDS research and therapy 2010-06-03 Tau biomarkers

    HIV-1 invades the central nervous system (CNS) in the context of acute infection, persists thereafter in the absence of treatment, and leads to chronic intrathecal immunoactivation that can be measured by the macrophage activation marker, neopterin, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

  3. Mononuclear phagocyte immunity and the neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 infection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of leukocyte biology 2003-11-01 Genetics

    Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-associated dementia is a neuroinflammatory brain disorder that is fueled by viral infection and immune activation of brain mononuclear phagocytes (MP; macrophages and microglia).

  4. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of the central nervous system: an evaluation of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuroimmunology 1989-07-01 Tau biomarkers

    Cytokines play an important role not only for initiation of immune reactivity but also for development of tissue injury.
