Tiny Ions & More...

 

This won't be long because the important details are in this article.  This all relates to an ion referred to IP6.   If there is more info out there on this ion besides what's in the article, I didn't find it this morning.  The important thing is this ion is part of capsid of the HIV virus.  The capsid is basically a shell holding the genetic information of the virus.  If this is harmed or prevented from replicating, the virus is inhibited.  Capsid inhibitors have been big research matters.

I've been posting about Lenacapavir.  It was recently approved under the name Sunlenca.   It is a long acting HIV medication.  The 1st in class to inhibit the HIV capsid.  

Give this article & the links a read.  This is a very notable development. Take care.

Frosty Fingers & Sunlenca...

 

It's frigid.  We got down near 0 with wind chills much lower.  Getting this house to near 60 has been difficult.  I have the heaters off for a bit.  Even though it's cold, the stoves can still make it hard to breath after a while.  They'll back on after a short break for them & our breathing.  It actually snowed, not much but enough that with the wind, it seemed impassable.  It really killed visibility.

Gilead has a new product going to market, Sunlenca, also known as Lenacapavir.  It's a long acting med to fight multi resistant HIV.  I've posted about the drug before.  It got approval in Europe a while back.

There are on 8 days left in the year.  There are 11 days before my HIV & this blog's anniversary.  Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.  This year is almost over.  I hope the holidays go well for everyone.  Most of us need it.

Take care & Happy Holidays.

Cya.
