Gene regulation by the act of long non-coding RNA transcription

AE Kornienko, PM Guenzl, DP Barlow, FM Pauler - BMC biology, 2013‏ - Springer
Long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are proposed to be the largest transcript class in

HIV “shock and kill” therapy: In need of revision

E Abner, A Jordan - Antiviral research, 2019‏ - Elsevier
The implementation of antiretroviral therapy 23 years ago has rendered HIV infection
clinically manageable. However, the disease remains incurable, since it establishes latent …

Different human resting memory CD4+ T cell subsets show similar low inducibility of latent HIV-1 proviruses

KJ Kwon, AE Timmons, S Sengupta… - Science translational …, 2020‏ - science.org
The latent reservoir of HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells is a major barrier to cure. It is unclear
