Revolutionary Breakthrough in the Hunt for Hidden HIV Sparks Hope for a Cure
Researchers at Icahn School of Medicine have developed a groundbreaking technique to detect dormant HIV within immune cells. The HIV-1-induced lineage tracing (HILT) system uses a genetic switch to reveal hidden viral reservoirs by changing cell color from red to green. This method targets HIV’s elusive hiding spots within CD4 T cells, a major barrier to finding a definitive cure. Analysis of over 47,000 T cells identified nine types harboring l…
New Method Marks Immune Cells Where HIV Lies Dormant
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new method to genetically tag immune cells that carry HIV, allowing them to study the reservoir of immune cells where the virus hides. The study, published in Nature Communications, represents a step forward in the development of curative therapies for HIV, which affects nearly 40 million people globally. Antiretroviral therapies are effective at halting the spread of …
