HIV/AIDS: Research Gaps in Developing Countries

HIV care in developing countries has achieved significant milestones, with many people now surviving beyond two decades on therapy. Studying the determinants of such long-term success provides invaluable lessons. Yet, persistent challenges remain: gaps in drug resistance surveillance, limited viral load access, delayed treatment switches, and inadequate opportunistic infection data. Vulnerable groups—children, adolescents, pregnant women, key populations, and older adults—remain underrepresented in research. Of particular concern is the rising threat of HIV-associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR).... see more

Pharmacological Advances in the Diagnosis, Prevention, and Treatment of Tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, exacerbated by the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains and co-infections with HIV. This thematic issue aims to highlight current advances and innovations in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of TB, with a special emphasis on translational and pharmacological research. Contributions will cover molecular diagnostics, biomarkers, host-directed therapies, novel anti-mycobacterial agents, vaccine development, and strategies to overcome drug resistance. By bringing together original research, reviews, and expert perspectives, this... see more
