Advancing toward a future without HIV. RHSP hosted an inspiring scientific presentation session with Natalie Howard on "Novel Strategies to Target Latent Reservoirs," highlighting groundbreaking research in HIV latency reversal. Key insights included the potential of blocking proteins PTPN1 and PTPN2 as a promising approach, alongside innovative findings around the FDA-approved compound Isotretinoin. When combined with IL-15, Isotretinoin has shown selective enhancement of cell death in reactivated HIV-infected cells, offering targeted action with minimal effect on uninfected cells. This work advances us closer to a globally accessible HIV cure—one step at a time towards a healthier future. #HIVResearch #CureHIV #GlobalHealth #RHSP
