Timeline: AIDS pathogenesis: what have two decades of HIV research taught us?

Sarah L Rowland-Jones

Nat Rev Immunol 3(4):343-8 (2003) PMID 12669024

22 years ago, the first cases of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome afflicting young, homosexual American men were reported, heralding what we now know to be the beginning of the HIV epidemic. Since then, billions of US dollars have been invested in HIV research in the hope of gaining a better understanding of this infection and how to prevent and treat it. What are the landmarks in HIV research over the past two decades, and what questions still remain to be answered? What has the intense study of HIV infection taught us about other virus infections and how our immune system responds to them?

    The goal of this study was to investigate the responses of isolated cells in 3-D culture to localized application of mechanical and biochemical signals. Corneal fibroblasts were plated inside collagen matrices for 24 hours, then imaged using time-lapse DIC. For mechanical perturbation, a microinject...
