Harnessing insights from one child case of post-treatment control of HIV

Individuals who have the ability to control HIV-1 to undetectable levels either naturally in the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART) (elite controllers), or those who achieve this after starting ART early in infection and later stopping ART (post-treatment controllers) – tell us that HIV remission is possible. This study describes virological and immunological features associated with a single case of durable post-treatment control of HIV-1 in a young South African child.

In the news, Under the microscope

How the turmoil surrounding Brexit is already having an effect on academia in the UK.

I first started to write this post in the immediate aftermath of the UK Parliament descending into a pantomime-like farce; with fewer than 100 days ‘til the UK is destined to leave the EU, our elected representatives chose to spend their last days before the Christmas 2018 recess shouting abuse at each other. Let’s hope in the 71 days remaining before Brexit day, almost enough time for Phileas Fogg to go around the world, that UK politicians spend the time less shambolically but also that they suffer no more intimidation from mobs intent on blurring the lines between populism and extremism.

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15th anniversary

Nature Reviews Microbiology celebrates its 15th anniversary and with it the microbiology community, many of whom have contributed directly and indirectly to the content of the journal. 


To mark this occasion, we wanted to give our readers a glimpse behind the curtains, and asked a few of our past authors and editors about their views on microbiology, the journal and their experiences of working with us in a series of interviews.


Our anniversary issue also contains the first of these ‘Under the Lens’ articles which are penned by microbial imaging specialists at the University of Oxford.
