Saying good luck to all the new residents starting this week, especially our recent Meharry graduates! You’re beginning an exciting, challenging, and deeply meaningful chapter in your medical journey.

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from @MargotRiggi :

This study is exciting as it provides evidence for a direct and functional role of Cyclophilin A in HIV-1 integration, a previously unknown role of this host factor in the nucleus of an infected cell.

In the spring of 1941, amidst WWII, one Indian woman boarded a "whites-only" section on a train in the American South. A ticket collector ordered her to move, but what followed was nothing short of remarkable.
