Researchers discover two separate reservoirs of latent HIV in patients
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
When HIV patients get antiviral medication (ART), their viral levels are reduced to the point that a conventional blood test cannot detect the virus. However, once ART is discontinued, detectable HIV resurfaces, infecting new cells. The cells that release the virus to re-ignite the infection

Study reveals new method to boost immunity to viral infections
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A syndrome known as immunological "exhaustion" occurs when the immune system, particularly T cells, are severely weakened by cancer and severe viral infections. Overcoming immunological exhaustion is a key goal in the development of new drugs for serious viral infections or cancer.

Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The finding suggests that the enzyme may be a potential target for f
