HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.
No, it attacks the T-Helper cells which are critical in establishing and maximizing the capabilities of the immune system. This is why your immune system becomes weaker when you have contracted HIV/AIDS.
Helper T-Cells and Phgocytes.
Melanocytes, which produce melanin for skin pigmentation, are found in human epidermal cells but not in leaf epidermal cells. Additionally, human epidermal cells contain structures like Langerhans cells for immune response, which are not present in leaf epidermal cells.
HIV
It attacks the white blood cells.
No, epidermal cells from petunia do not stain with phloroglucinol. Phloroglucinol is typically used to stain lignin in plant tissues, not epidermal cells. The stain mainly reacts with lignin, which is absent in the epidermal cells.
HIV infects only the CD4 cells of the immune system, and it destroys lymphocytes.
Langerhans cells
the CD4(T-cell)lymphocytes is affected by HIV and aids
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels in the
TRUE
Merkel cells compose about 8% of the epidermal cells. These specialized cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis and are involved in the sensation of touch.
