Inhibition of TRF2 accelerates telomere attrition and DNA damage in naïve CD4 T cells during HCV infection

Abstract T cells play a crucial role in viral clearance and vaccine responses; however, the mechanisms that regulate their homeostasis during viral infections remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the machineries of T-cell homeostasis and telomeric DNA damage using a human model of hepatiti...
