Retrovirus Life Cycles01:10

Retrovirus Life Cycles

49.9K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Retroviruses

15.1K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

Curing Methods01:26

Curing Methods

336
Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) persists globally despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART).
  • ART improves patient quality of life but does not eradicate the virus due to latent reservoirs.
  • Latent HIV reservoirs are the primary barrier to achieving a functional cure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review innovative strategies targeting latent HIV reservoirs.
  • To discuss recent research advancements aimed at HIV eradication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current scientific literature on HIV latency and eradication strategies.
  • Analysis of innovative therapeutic approaches targeting viral reservoirs.

Main Results:

  • Latent reservoirs are extremely long-lived and responsible for viral rebound after ART interruption.
  • Multiple novel strategies are under investigation to eliminate these reservoirs.

Conclusions:

  • Targeting latent HIV reservoirs is crucial for developing a curative strategy.
  • Ongoing research into innovative therapies offers hope for eventual HIV eradication.
