Targeting HIV Transcription: The Quest for a Functional Cure [PDF]
, 2015 Antiretroviral therapy (ART) potently suppresses HIV-1 replication, but the virus persists in quiescent infected CD4(+)T cells as a latent integrated provirus, and patients must indefinitely remain on therapy. If ART is terminated, these integrated proviruses can reactivate, driving new rounds of infection.

Developing Combined HIV Vaccine Strategies for a Functional Cure [PDF]
Vaccines, 2013 Increasing numbers of HIV-infected individuals have access to potent antiretroviral drugs that control viral replication and decrease the risk of transmission. However, there is no cure for HIV and new strategies have to be developed to reach an eradication of the virus or a natural control of viral replication in the absence of drugs (functional cure).

Signal Transduction and Targeted TherapyReactivation of the latent viral reservoirs is crucial for a cure of HIV/AIDS. However, current latency reversing agents are inefficient, and the endogenous factors that have the potential to reactivate HIV in vivo remain poorly understood.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) includes several rare overgrowth disorders resulting from somatic gain‐of‐function mutations in PIK3CA. Despite treatment advances, including the recent approval of alpelisib for PROS in the United States, literature detailing the patient experience with PROS is limited.

Prospect of emerging treatments for hepatitis B virus functional cure [PDF]
Functional cure, defined as sustained hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance with unquantifiable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA at 24 weeks off treatment, is a favorable treatment endpoint in chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of severe outcomes from SARS‐CoV‐2 (SCV2). In the post‐pandemic context, where most children have been infected with SCV2, there are limited data on whether vaccination remains beneficial in children with ALL.

Drug Discovery Study Aimed at a Functional Cure for HBV
Viruses, 2022 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes acute and, most importantly, chronic hepatitis B worldwide. Antiviral treatments have been developed to reduce viral loads but few patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) achieve a functional cure.

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.

Targeting Host Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Achieve the Functional Cure of Chronic Hepatitis B
, 2020 Despite the availability of an effective preventive vaccine for hepatitis B virus (HBV) for over 38 years, chronic HBV (CHB) infection remains a global health burden with around 257 million patients. The ideal treatment goal for CHB infection would be to

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Conventional treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is rarely curative due to the immunotolerant status of patients. RG7854 is an oral double prodrug of a toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that is developed for the treatment of CHB.
