Teasing apart the cell death pathways in HIV pathogenesis

The progressive loss of CD4 + T cells has been recognised as being central to HIV-1 pathogenesis, however a precise understanding of the underlying mechanisms and, consequently, improved therapies have yet to be achieved. Zhang et al. have recently shown in HIV-1 patients that the NLRP3 inflammasome...

Teasing apart the cell death pathways in HIV pathogenesis
description The progressive loss of CD4 + T cells has been recognised as being central to HIV-1 pathogenesis, however a precise understanding of the underlying mechanisms and, consequently, improved therapies have yet to be achieved. Zhang et al. have recently shown in HIV-1 patients that the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, which plays a key role in innate immunity, is a crucial mediator of the loss of CD4 + T cells. This advance could inform the development of innovative anti-HIV-1 therapies.
