New development in understanding the HIV virus process:

A multidisciplinary team from the University of Illinois has solved the mystery of how protein associated with the HIV virus crosses cell membranes.

Materials science and engineering professor Gerard Wong, said: “TAT is extremely good at getting through cell membranes. You can attach TAT to almost anything and it will drag it across the membrane. It can work for virtually all tissues, including the brain.”
