Nature research paper: HIV-1 signalling remodels nuclear pores to licence infection

go.nature.com/49hjtFQ
HIV-1 signalling remodels nuclear pores to licence infection - Nature
HIV-1 capsid nuclear import at the nuclear pore complex is a bottleneck to resting T cell infection, but HIV-1 overcomes this by triggering receptor-mediated signalling during cell–cell spread to drive nuclear import and licence infection.

It has been a big year for the Jolly lab. We have said "au revoir" to UCL, after a fantastic time there, to move to QMUL with lots of exciting new things to come!
Thank you to everybody who has been part of this journey and stay tuned for exciting news from the lab.
Happy 2026 to all of you! 🎆
