ELEVATED LEVEL OF CD4+ T CELL IMMUNE ACTIVATION IN ACUTELY HIV-1-INFECTED STAGE ASSOCIATES WITH INCREASED IL-2 PRODUCTION AND CYCLING EXPRESSION, AND SUBSEQUENT CD4+ T CELL PRESERVATION

Elevated Level of CD4+ T Cell Immune Activation in Acutely HIV-1-Infected Stage Associates With Increased IL-2 Production and Cycling Expression, and Subsequent CD4+ T Cell Preservation

Persistent immune activation is a striking consequence of HIV-1 infection and a driving force of CD4+ T cell depletion and AIDS events during chronic infection.High level of T cell immune activation associates with antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated clinical outcomes in chronically HIV-1-infected patients.However, the role of T cell activation du

A New Kind of Art [Based on Autonomous Collective Robotics]

The paper addresses the rationale of a process that produces artworks made by a swarm of robots.This process relies on the interaction, though the environment, of a set of robots designed to create spatiotemporal patterns from Dry Bag an initial homogeneous medium (the canvas).Inspired by social insect societies, the approach presented here exploit
