Abstract
We explored the impact of immune dysregulation on pancreatic beta cell injury in HIV patients. Analyzing 105 participant samples, we observed lower IL-21 levels and elevated immune checkpoint levels (e.g. PD-1, CD27+, CD40+) in untreated HIV patients. Notably, soluble TIM-3 correlated positively with improved beta cell function and inversely with beta cell stress, suggesting its potential role in beta cell protection in untreated HIV.
期刊介绍：
Publishing the very latest ground breaking research on HIV and AIDS. Read by all the top clinicians and researchers, AIDS has the highest impact of all AIDS-related journals. With 18 issues per year, AIDS guarantees the authoritative presentation of significant advances. The Editors, themselves noted international experts who know the demands of your work, are committed to making AIDS the most distinguished and innovative journal in the field. Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
