Transcriptional and #chromatin profiling of human blood innate #lymphoid cell subsets sheds light on #HIV1 pathogenesis

How long did it take us to discover that #HIV first infected humans half a century before western scientists noticed it?
As in the current dominant #HIV1 strain first went from chimps to humans in about the #1920s
There's been multiple #spillover events from multiple species, so this has probably been happening for 1000s of years? (but older #spillovers didn't get far because it's not very contagious)

#FDA #approval of a new drug for treating #HIV1.
#Lenacapavir is the first of a new class of #Capsid_Inhibitor drugs
Capsid inhibitors block assembly of the HIV-1 virus' protein shell and interferes with two essential steps of the virus’ evolution.
Lenacapavir is estimated to cost $42,250 for the 1st yr. Subsequent years: $39,000 annually. Insurance coverage of capsid inhibitors is unknown.

#SARSCoV2 and #HIV1 So Different yet so Alike. Immune Response at the Cellular and Molecular Level
"We considered features of the host immune response that are shared with HIV-1 and could account for the lymphopenia and other immune effects observed in #COVID19."
