Ongoing research investigating how HIV remains as a latent reservoir in resting T helper cells to ensure viral persistence in patients that have undergone treatment with highly active antiretroviral ...
The HIV community is highly motivated and engaged ... This is because the virus maintains a latent infection in certain cells, and there may be anatomical reservoirs of virus persisting because ...
We might be a step closer to curing HIV, as researchers have developed a way to knock out a version of the virus lurking in the body. Using something called an HIV-like particle (HLP)—which are ...
Researchers a Step Closer to a Cure for HIV Mar. 26, 2024 — A new study shows virus-like particle can effectively 'shock and kill' latent HIV reservoir in those living with chronic ...
Background HIV and tuberculosis (TB) are commonly associated. Identifying latent and asymptomatic tuberculosis infection in HIV-positive patients is important in preventing death and morbidity ...
Dr. Shen has ongoing research studying latent reservoirs of HIV infection. She is investigating the mechanisms of how the reservoirs are formed and potential ways to remove the latent reservoir. Her ...
Ultimately, this model may enable preclinical testing of novel antiretroviral therapies and vaccines against HIV-1. It may also be applied to studies of viral latency and curative treatment strategies ...
