14 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) remains common in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), but the reasons remain incompletely understood. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of aging and of neurodegenerative diseases.
