Researchers used a new single-cell profiling technique, PheP-Seq, to study HIV reservoir cells. Results suggest that only small subsets of infected cells survive long-term ART. https://t.co/8KiCpaJaRB @YuLabAtRagon @Nature

Researchers analyzed HIV reservoirs and found that long-term antiretroviral therapy causes the immune system to select for latent reservoirs that cannot be easily reactivated. Press release: https://t.co/HZQb6dXKJc @cellhostmicrobe @YuLabAtRagon

In this new study, our team reports the longitudinal selection for intact proviruses integrated into heterochromatin regions after two decades of ART.

Great recognition for Xu Yu @ragoninstitute, and her international team, from Annals of Internal Medicine-- their report characterizing an HIV cure was named one of the most influential papers of 2021! t https://t.co/FZSz2TH3hi

[Charlie Evavold, find me @synth-immune.bsky.social @Synth_Immune]

The Evavold lab is hiring a #postdoc.

Come join us @ragoninstitute and @harvardmed to add your diverse experiences to our goals of discovering new regulation in #metabolism, innate #immunity, and cell #death through #synbio and unbiased screens.

Congrats to Kyra Seiger for her presentation at #CROI2022! For a unique cohort of people living with #HIV who have been on #antiretroviraltherapy since its advent, intact HIV-1 proviruses accumulate in more transcriptionally silent regions.

Congrats to Xu Yu, Mathias Lictherfeld and the rest of the @ragoninstitute and broader team on their Cell publication on a roadmap for potential HIV cure! https://t.co/r2VUZpWCyM

A woman in Argentina has become only the second documented person whose own immune system may have cured her of HIV. https://t.co/dIsJiMRtmE

So proud of Xu Yu, Assoc Prof @ragoninstitute @mgh @Harvard who was just awarded an NIH R37 Merit Award!! Her research on elite controllers and #hiv is super exciting- see this about her recent paper: HIV cure is possible? https://t.co/de7X9XiLxC

Congratulations to research fellow Ciputra Hartana for receiving funding from the MGH ECOR Fund for Medical Discovery (FMD) to study trained NK cells in HIV elite controllers! #ragoninstitute #elitecontrollers #HIV
