DC CFAR Investigators, Mudit Tyagi, PhD, Michael Bukrinsky, MD, PhD and Gary Simon, MD, PhD, MACP recently published an article in Current HIV Research entitled, "Mechanisms of HIV Transcriptional Regulation by Drugs of Abuse".
The article provides the latest updates of the molecular mechanisms that regulate HIV transcription and discuss how drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, heroin and morphine, modulate those mechanisms to upregulate HIV transcription and eventually HIV replication.
