The composition and metabolic activity of a patient's gut bacteria are strongly associated with the size of the latent #HIV reservoir—the amount of dormant virus that remains in the blood despite effective antiretroviral therapy.

Gut bacteria linked to levels of latent HIV

The composition of gut bacteria appears to be associated with how much latent HIV remains

Poliovirus
The following is Prof. Gareth Williams at Gresham College, lecturing on the development of the Polio vaccine.

I've shared (pinned) Vincent Racanello's 3rd year virology course.
I've shared (pinned) Worobey's Influenza lecture.
I have a few other good lectures I have not shared. This is one of them.

Acute and chronic infections drive distinct trajectories in human memory CD4+ T cell formation.

CD4⁺ T cell fates in #HCV differ by outcome, revealing distinct chronic, cleared, and cured memory paths.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Michael Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication. His research focuses on climate science and climate change. He is the author (together with Peter Hotez) of Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World. In this episode, we focus on Science Under Siege. We talk about the premise and timing of the book. We discuss what antiscience is; how it has manifested in recent years; climate change denial; and anti-intellectualism and anti-expert takes. We talk about the five main antiscience forces: the plutocrats; the petrostates; the “pros”; the propagandists; and the press. We discuss the narrative that the “wokes” are the real threat to science. Finally, we also discuss how we can deal with these antiscience forces.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Researchers discovered that marine viruses exhibiting cyclical behavior are predominantly active at night, specifically targeting heterotrophic microbes that consume organic matter rather than the expected photosynthetic bacteria.

Getting a glimpse of viral dances in the dark in the Sargasso Sea

Study shows time-based patterns that can inform ocean modeling

Phages (viruses that infect bacteria) utilize chemical signals to communicate and can "eavesdrop" on the signals of other viral species, a process that can manipulate the eavesdropping virus into adopting a disadvantageous infection strategy.

Viruses ‘eavesdrop’ on each other – but it can backfire

The phages assessed in this study have two choices when they enter a cell: lie dormant or kill the cell
