11/ To really get our heads scratching. Here is the pre-print that maps the biology of this. Stefan Pohlmann's work in 2014 on SARS CoV-1 was key here! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Evolutionary trajectory of SARS CoV-2 from Ancestral Clade A to JN.1. What does the below mean? The virus is consolidating towards a specific pool of ACE2. Early on the ACE2 pool the virus favoured needed to be cut/cleaved. Now it heavily favours (well for JN.1) uncleave ACE2.

Are CNS (brain) reservoirs transcriptionally active on #HIV treatment? Prof Melissa Churchill from RMIT University Neuroinfections Lab says yes & this can contribute to viral reactivation. Lots of evidence that an #HIVcure must consider reservoirs such as the brain. More on this later.

Congrats to PhD student Janna Jamal Eddine on her first author PLOS Pathogens publication. Great collab with RMIT Research Doherty Institute OHSU News #hivcure This study identified persistent HIV transcription in brain tissue from virally suppressed PWH dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Super excited to be part of the #HIV unwrapped project, showcased at #HIVAIDS2024 Researchers were teamed up with RMIT University fashion design students who designed a lab coat based on the science. Check it out if you’re here! ASHM

Am also very grateful that Prof Churchill took the time to explain the assays used in labs to measure and characterise the reservoir, including transcription profiling shown here. Good on #HIVAIDS2024 for showcasing this important work to the diverse conference audience

A brilliant talk summarising everything you need to know about CNS reservoirs ends with some points to ponder for #HIVcure - reaching CNS reservoirs, CNS toxicities, and designing Cure trials considering safety (particularly with treatment interruptions)

New research shows HIV continues to transcribe in the brain of virally suppressed individuals, potentially explaining #neurocognitive issues. This finding has key implications for #HIV cure research & CNS-targeted therapies. bit.ly/4eya510 #PLoSPathogens Neuroinfections Lab
