Hepatitis C is a viral infection causing liver disease. Over 3 million people in the US are infected with hepatitis C and over half remain undiagnosed. The ...

When a person is undetectable it doesn’t mean the virus is gone. It hides inside of cells called reservoirs; the virus modifies the cells so that it’s more resistant and puts the cell into a stage of deep sleep. In turn, the cell and virus within it can survive for decades. Researchers are in the very early stages of creating a way to break down that protective layer in these reservoir cells so that they can cause the cell to die, along with the HIV virus. Find out more about this amazing new research at the link below.

Researchers used selected molecules to make human cells less tolerant of damage, so that reactivating hidden HIV becomes a clear trigger for cell death. While making cells more vulnerable to dying may sound counterintuitive, the strategy ensures that cells harbouring HIV are eliminated, removing the...
