Dengue viruses cleave STING in humans but not in nonhuman primates, their presumed natural reservoir
Human dengue viruses emerged from primate reservoirs, yet paradoxically dengue does not reach high titers in primate models. This presents a unique opportunity to examine the genetics of spillover versus reservoir hosts.

Comparative HIV-1 Proviral Dynamics in Two Individuals That Maintained Viral Replication Control with or without Antiretroviral Therapy following Superinfection [PDF]
The analysis of the HIV-1 proviral dynamics after superinfection in the context of both natural and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-mediated suppression could yield unique insights into understanding the persistence of viral variants that seeded the ...

Forging a Functional Cure for HIV: Transcription Regulators and Inhibitors
Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) increases the survival of HIV-infected individuals, yet it is not curative. The major barrier to finding a definitive cure for HIV is our inability to identify and eliminate long-lived cells containing the dormant ...

SIV-infected rhesus macaques on antiretroviral therapy experienced a reduction in the SIV reservoir after treatment with TLR7 agonists. Emptying the reservoir Antiretroviral therapy can halt HIV-1 replication but cannot clear the hidden reservoirs of ...

Impacts of HIV Cure Interventions on Viral Reservoirs in Tissues [PDF]
HIV reservoirs persist in infected individuals despite combination antiretroviral therapy and can be identified in secondary lymphoid tissues, in intestinal tissues, in the central nervous system as well as in blood. Clinical trials have begun to explore effects of small molecule interventions to perturb the latent viral infection, but only limited ...

Viral genomic features predict orthopoxvirus reservoir hosts
Abstract Orthopoxviruses (OPVs), including the causative agents of smallpox and mpox have led to devastating outbreaks in human populations worldwide. However, the discontinuation of smallpox vaccination, which also provides cross-protection against related OPVs, has diminished global immunity to OPVs more broadly.

CCR5 gene editing and HIV immunotherapy: current understandings, challenges, and future directions
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a major global public health challenge. Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART or ART) can effectively control viral replication, it fails to eradicate latent viral reservoirs and poses ...

Detectable HIV-1 in semen in individuals with very low blood viral loads
Background Several reports indicate that a portion (5–10%) of men living with HIV-1 intermittently shed HIV-1 RNA into seminal plasma while on long term effective antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
