HEMATOPOIETIC STEM AND PROGENITOR CELLS ARE A DISTINCT HIV RESERVOIR THAT CONTRIBUTES TO PERSISTENT VIREMIA IN SUPPRESSED PATIENTS

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Are a Distinct HIV Reservoir that Contributes to Persistent Viremia in Suppressed Patients

Summary: Long-lived reservoirs of persistent HIV are a major barrier to a cure.CD4+ hematopoietic stem and 8.31/8GB progenitor cells (HSPCs) have the capacity for lifelong survival, self-renewal, and the generation of daughter cells.Recent evidence shows that they are also susceptible to HIV infection in vitro and in vivo.Whether HSPCs harbor infec

Culturing marine bacteria from the genus Pseudoalteromonas on a cotton scaffold alters secondary metabolite production

Abstract The discovery of secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms is beset by numerous challenges including difficulties cultivating and subsequently eliciting expression of biosynthetic genes from marine microbes in the laboratory.In this paper, we describe a method of culturing three species from the marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromo
