Cocaine potentiates astrocyte toxicity mediated by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protein gp120.
It is becoming widely accepted that psychoactive drugs, often abused by HIV-I infected individuals, can significantly alter the progression of neuropathological changes observed in HIV-associated neurodegenerative diseases (HAND). The underlying mechanisms mediating these effects however, remain poo...
