DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2018.08.004
Abstract: The persistence of a pool of latently HIV-1-infected cells despite combination anti-retroviral therapy treatment is the major roadblock for a cure. The BAF (mammalian SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is involved in establishing and maintaining viral… read more here.

HIV Latency: Should We Shock or Lock?

DOI: 10.1016/j.it.2016.12.003
Abstract: Combinatory antiretroviral therapy (cART) increases the survival and quality of life of HIV-1-infected patients. However, interruption of therapy almost invariably leads to the re-emergence of detectable viral replication because HIV-1 persists in viral latent reservoirs.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2020.06.019
Abstract: Development of a cure for HIV/AIDS has been a great challenge due to the establishment of the HIV-1 viral reservoir, mainly within resting CD4+ memory T cells. As a step towards a cure for HIV,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.9b00339
Abstract: Currently, due to the HIV latency mechanism, the search continues for effective drugs to combat this issue and provide a cure for AIDS. Gnidimacrin activates latent HIV-1 replication and inhibits HIV-1 infection at picomolar concentrations.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-020-0742-9
Abstract: Quiescence is a hallmark of CD4 + T cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). While reversing this quiescence is an effective approach to reactivate latent HIV from T cells in culture, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1803468115
Abstract: Significance The molecular mechanisms leading to the creation and maintenance of the latent HIV reservoir remain incompletely understood. Unbiased shRNA screens showed that the estrogen receptor acts as a potent repressor of proviral reactivation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/aid.2021.0195
Abstract: HIV remains incurable due to the persistence of a latent viral reservoir found in HIV infected cells, primarily resting memory CD4+ T cells. Depletion of this reservoir may be the only way to end this… read more here.
