Study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating antiretroviral therapy-induced vascular toxicity

Description

We study the mechanisms responsible for the vascular toxicity described for some antiretroviral drugs. We have analysed the effect of the most commonly used antiretroviral drugs on leukocyte-endothelium interaction as a first step in the development of vascular pathologies.
