HIV-1 persistence in long-lived cellular reservoirs remains a major barrier to a cure. In a recent Nature Medicine paper, Buzon et al. identify memory T cells with stem cell-like properties (TSCM) that harbor infectious provirus and that likely contribute to HIV-1 persistence.
HIV-1在长寿细胞储存库中的持续存在仍然是治愈的主要障碍。在最近发表于《自然·医学》的一篇论文中,布宗等人鉴定出了具有干细胞样特性的记忆T细胞(TSCM),这些细胞携带有传染性的前病毒,并且可能促成了HIV-1的持续存在。
