CRISPR Screens Identify Potential Host Targets to Reverse HIV-1 Latency
By combining the targeting of host genes with latency reversing agents, the researchers hope to reactivate latent HIV-1 to then enable drugs to kill the infected cells.
HIV Risk Reduced in Carriers of Allele Linked to Severe COVID-19
HIV infection risk was roughly 27 percent lower in individuals with a COVID-19 risk allele that reduced CCR5 chemokine receptor gene expression.
HIV Sequencing Study in Netherlands Uncovers Virulent Variant Mutations, History
Along with analyses focused on de novo mutations contributing to virulence and transmissibility, researchers traced the HIV-1 VB variant back to at least the early 1990s.
