HENDERSON, Nev., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A study published August 10, 2023 in the journal Nature Communications has identified a new pathway that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) uses to enter the nucleus of a healthy cell, where it can then replicate and go on to invade other cells.

Key Points: 
  • HIV infection requires the virus to enter a cell and gain access to the well-guarded nucleus in order for the viral components to be integrated into the healthy cell's DNA.
  • But how the viruses get past the protective membrane is not well understood and is the subject of much debate.
  • The newly identified pathway begins with HIV entering a cell wrapped inside a membrane package, called an endosome.
  • The researchers observed that, in the presence of these molecules, HIV replication does not occur.

Lawmakers have been given notice of a new deadline if they are to avoid a damaging default on U.S. debt: June 1, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Lawmakers have been given notice of a new deadline if they are to avoid a damaging default on U.S. debt: June 1, 2023.
  • The warning may spur leaders in Congress into action.
  • House Speaker Kevin McCarthy fired the starting pistol on negotiations over the debt ceiling in April, laying out the criteria under which Republicans would accept an increase.

1. What exactly is the debt ceiling?

    • The debt ceiling was established by the U.S. Congress in 1917.
    • It limits the total national debt by setting out a maximum amount that the government can borrow.
    • As a result, the Treasury has taken “extraordinary measures” to enable it to keep borrowing without breaching the ceiling.

2. ‘Catastrophic’ consequences

    • Well, pretty bad, according to Michael Humphries, deputy chair of business administration at Touro University, who wrote two articles on the consequences.
    • Tens of millions of Americans and thousands of companies that depend on government support could suffer.
    • The dollar’s value could collapse, and the U.S. economy would most likely sink back into recession,” he wrote.
    • Read more:
      If the US defaults on debt, expect the dollar to fall – and with it, Americans' standard of living

3. Undermining the dollar

    • Such a default could undermine the U.S. dollar’s position as a “unit of account,” which makes it a widely used currency in global finance and trade.
    • Loss of this status would be a severe economic and political blow to the U.S.
    • But Humphries conceded that putting a dollar value on the price of a default is hard: “The truth is, we really don’t know what will happen or how bad it will get.

4. Can McCarthy make a deal?

    • These could make it much harder to reach a deal with Biden over the debt ceiling.
    • “Some of the new rules spawned by McCarthy’s concessions may appear to democratize the procedures for considering and passing legislation.
    • But they are likely to make it difficult for members to get the working majority necessary to pass legislation,” Brand explained.

5. The GOP endgame: A balanced budget

On April 17, 2023, McCarthy told a gathering at the New York Stock Exchange that the Republican-controlled House would vote “in the coming weeks” on a bill to “lift the debt ceiling into the next year.” The catch?

Key Points: 
  • On April 17, 2023, McCarthy told a gathering at the New York Stock Exchange that the Republican-controlled House would vote “in the coming weeks” on a bill to “lift the debt ceiling into the next year.” The catch?
  • The Democrats would have to agree to freeze spending at 2022 levels and roll back regulations, among other conditions.
  • As such, McCarthy’s comments might best be viewed as an early salvo in what could be protracted negotiations to avert a debt ceiling crisis.
