Cell-cell fusion between eukaryotic cells is a general process involved in many
physiological and pathological conditions, including infections by bacteria, parasites, and …

Dysregulation of the bone marrow niche resulting from the direct and indirect effects of HIV
infection contributes to haematological abnormalities observed in HIV patients. The bone …

Macrophages are essential for HIV-1 pathogenesis and represent major viral reservoirs.
Therefore, it is critical to understand macrophage infection, especially in tissue …

Recognition of cell-surface receptors and co-receptors is a crucial molecular event towards
the establishment of HIV infection. HIV exists as several variants that differentially recognize …

Many pathogens infect macrophages as part of their intracellular life cycle. This is
particularly true for viruses, of which HIV-1 is one of the best studied. HIV-1 infection of …

Overexpression of the nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3)
inflammasome in chronic auto‐immune diseases leads to skeletal anomalies, with severe …

Different types of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) of myeloid origin have been described;
osteoclasts are the most extensively studied because of their importance in bone …

In addition to CD4+ T lymphocytes, cells of the myeloid lineage such as macrophages,
dendritic cells (DCs), and osteoclasts (OCs) are emerging as important target cells for HIV-1 …

HIV infects several cell types in the body, including CD4+ T cells and macrophages. Here
we review the role of macrophages in HIV infection and describe complex interactions …

Although cells of the myeloid lineages, including tissue macrophages and conventional
dendritic cells, were rapidly recognized, in addition to CD4+ T lymphocytes, as target cells of …
