title: The roles of tetraspanins in HIV-1 replication.
abstract: Tetraspanins are small integral membrane proteins that are known to control a variety of cellular processes, including signaling, migration and cell-cell fusion. Research over the past few years established that they are also regulators of various steps in the HIV-1 replication cycle, but the mechanisms through which these proteins either enhance or repress virus spread remain largely unknown.
