Estrogen receptors on cells may play a role in HIV latency and reactivation, and drugs targeting these receptors could potentially be used to either promote reactivation of integrated viral genes or keep them silent, according to research presented at the 8th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention and at the preceding IAS Towards an HIV Cure Symposium last month in Vancouver.

Enhanced cholesterol metabolism in certain immune cells may help explain why some people with HIV can naturally control the virus with little or no disease progression, according to research presented at the 8th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention and at the preceding IAS Towards an HIV Cure Symposium last month in Vancouver. The findings suggest that regulating cellular cholesterol metabolism may offer a new approach to controlling HIV and potentially achieving a functional cure, or long-term remission.

Researchers used a zinc finger nuclease protein to delete a gene for the CCR5 receptor from stem cells in monkeys, an advance that could play a role in efforts to achieve a functional cure for HIV, according to a report at the 8th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention last month in Vancouver.
