Laboratory of Carine Van Lint

🌍 The EU2HIV Symposium in Ghent runs until 17 September!

Yesterday, our PI Carine Van Lint presented:
"Molecular mechanisms of CD8+ T cell-mediated non-cytolytic HIV-1 silencing" 🦠

Exciting science and discussions on HIV cure! 🔬

Unbiased and comprehensive identification of virus-derived circular RNAs in a large range of viral species and families Author summary Circular RNAs differ from linear RNAs in that they lack free ends, making them more stable in the extracellular environment. Previous studies have shown that they can play important rol...

🚀 Excited to share our contribution to this collaborative study led by UNamur, with collaborators from ULiège! 🔬

The study introduces vCircTrappist, a new tool to detect viral circular RNAs — revealing a hidden layer of viral gene expression 🦠

Congratulations to our postdoc @estelle-plant.bsky.social for her key contribution to this exciting study from the Bellefroid lab! We’re thrilled to see this collaborative work published in eNeuro 🧠

Thanks to all collaborators for their valuable efforts! ✨

Nuclear retention of unspliced HIV-1 RNA as a reversible post-transcriptional block in latency Nature Communications - In their study, Dorman and Bendoumou et al., reveal a post-transcriptional regulation of unspliced HIV-1 RNA by host factors MATR3, MTR4, and the viral protein Rev,...

🎉 Excited to share our latest work in @naturecomms.bsky.social led by Anna Kula: Nuclear retention of unspliced HIV-1 RNA as a reversible post-transcriptional block in latency.
🌟 Proud that Maryam Bendoumou from our lab is co-first author! Huge thanks to all collaborators 🌟
