Generation of a dynamic spatial map of the cellular landscape of HIV-infected gut and its application in unraveling the role of tissue-resident T cells in HIV Ghent University
The quest for an HIV cure heavily depends on our ability to accurately map how the virus establishes reservoirs in the body. Today, we know that a major part of the HIV reservoir is located in gut, however, most research is still performed on blood. In addition, only a limited number of studies examined tissue-resident memory T cells (Trms), the predominant lymphocyte subset in tissues, as a cellular reservoir for HIV. Therefore, we aim to ...
