Due to the 4-hour maturation half-life of the Timer protein's blue-to-red chromophore, we can detect reactivated or recently silenced proviruses with high sensitivity using Timer fluorescence.

A long-standing belief about HIV has quietly shaped how scientists think about the virus. For decades, researchers described the virus as hiding in a “latent reservoir,” a group of infected cells that ...

The Targeted Minimum Loss-based Estimation proved the most accurate capture-recapture model in estimating hidden populations of patients with HIV. A capture-recapture model, named the Targeted Minimum ...

For decades, HIV treatment has depended on one hard truth: once medication stops, the virus usually comes roaring back.

Kumamoto University researchers have developed a novel viral reporter system named HIV-Tocky (Timer of Cell Kinetics and Activity). This innovative system allows for real-time visualization of HIV ...
