Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center and Emory University have made an unexpected find that opens up a new front in the effort to stop HIV.
The new research opens the possibility of targeting the HIV virus in macrophages – where the virus is out of reach of most of today's drugs. More details are available from PhsyOrg.com at this link: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-01-unexpected-front-effort-hiv.html |

More details are available from PhsyOrg.com at this link: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-01-unexpected-front-effort-hiv.html When the team blocked the ability of the virus to interact with rNTP, HIV's ability to replicate in macrophages was slashed by more than 90 percent. This is another amazing breakthrough. |
