French Scientists Find a Weak Spot in HIV-Infected Cells

Researchers at the Institut Pasteur were able to selectively kill the cells where HIV hides from antiretroviral drugs, opening the way for a new form of HIV treatments. The reason why HIV comes back when a person stops taking antiretroviral therapy is that it remains hidden and undetected within immune T cells. In a study […]

French Researchers Discover a Target to Prevent Zika Birth Defects

Researchers from the Institut Pasteur and the Inserm have identified a protein target that, when overexpressed, can block Zika infections. The recent Zika epidemics in the Pacific and South America has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a state of global emergency. One of the biggest concerns at the moment is that the […]

France Closes in on an HIV Cure by Detecting Cells with Dormant Viruses

French researchers have found a protein only expressed in HIV-infected reservoir cells, paving the way for an HIV cure that completely eliminates the virus. Researchers from the Institut de Génétique Humaine (IGH) at Montpellier University, France, have discovered a protein, CD32a, that is only present on the surface of CD4 T cells infected with dormant HIV. This […]

NGS Metagenomics Test could Curb Antibiotic-Resistant Infections

PathoQuest has shown its metagenomics sequencing technology can identify more pathogens in immunocompromised patients than the standard procedures, keeping antibiotic-resistant infections at bay. PathoQuest, a spin-off from the Institut Pasteur in Paris, develops next-generation sequencing (NGS) metagenomics tests. The company just announced the publication of results from a clinical trial comparing its iDTECT Blood technology […]
