Losing control of HIV: KLF2 could trigger impaired T-cell function
‘Controller’ patients naturally suppress HIV infection, but in some patients increased KLF2 expression and impaired T-cell function…

Can sleep improve our T cell responses?
A new study has suggested that sleep causes a dip in Gαs-coupled receptor agonists, in turn improving T cell integrin activation – a process T cells use to target viral cells.
ASM Microbe: Could Treg cells be protecting babies against mother-to-child HIV transmission?
Research presented at ASM Microbe has revealed that Treg cells may be protecting babies from contracting HIV from their mothers in utero.
Does the immune system cause neurological damage in Zika infections?
Researchers from Yale University have suggested that the immune response may be responsible for neurological complications in Zika infection, as opposed to the virus itself.
Research sheds new light on Ebola pathogenesis
A new study has identified the role of T cell protein, Tim-1, in initiating the inflammatory response that is central to Ebola pathogenesis and disease severity.
New drug target against HIV permissiveness in CD4+ T cells
Researchers have identified the mTOR pathway as a ‘druggable’ key regulator of HIV-1 persister reservoirs in gut-homing CD4+ T cells.
