Finding clues to a functional HIV cure
George Mason University’s Yuntao Wu’s research team has identified a measurable indicator that could prove instrumental in the fight against HIV.The research recently published in Science Advances, focuses on cofilin, a key protein that regulates cells to mobilize and fight against infection. HIV patients have “significantly lower” levels of cofilin phosphorylation–but by stimulating the T cells with additional therapeutics, researchers could modulate the levels of cofilin activity needed to restore T cell mobility.
