At any moment, a reservoir cell can start producing HIV. That is why if people with the virus stop taking their antiretrovirals, their viral loads typically rebound within weeks. A stem cell ...

“The questions take the form: ‘I have been culturing this particular virus in this cell type, in these specific conditions, for this amount of time. I have this amount of information about ...
