Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: A Possible Reservoir for HIV-1?
[Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] Mesenchymal stem cells appear to have the potential to contribute to the HIV-1 reservoir. Further studies are needed using techniques such as those used to prove that cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T cells constitute an HIV-1 reservoir before a reservoir function can definitively be ascribed to MSCs.
