A groundbreaking discovery could bring us closer to a cure for HIV. Scientists at Ulm University Hospital have identified a natural human protein, RBP4 — known for transporting vitamin A — that can reactivate dormant HIV hiding inside immune cells. This hidden form of HIV is one of the biggest challenges to finding a cure. But now, researchers have shown that RBP4, when bound to vitamin A, triggers a key immune pathway (NF-κB) that brings the virus out of hiding — making it vulnerable to treatment.<br /><br />This discovery opens up exciting new possibilities for a “shock-and-kill” approach to HIV, where the virus is awakened and destroyed. And the best part? RBP4 works at natural levels already present in the body.<br /><br />Could this be the missing piece in the HIV cure puzzle?
