A potential functional cure for HIV could be just months away from human trials. Dr. Lanna reveals how her company Sentcell is using cellular rejuvenation to eliminate HIV reservoirs—and the surprising anti-aging benefits that come with it.

n this groundbreaking interview, Dr. Lanna, founder and CEO of Sentcell, explains how his team has developed a revolutionary approach to HIV treatment that could eliminate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy. Unlike traditional strategies that target the virus directly, Sentcell's method uses a molecule called DOS to rejuvenate CD4 T-cells, triggering them to naturally clear HIV DNA from their own genomes through a process that mimics elite controllers—rare individuals who can suppress HIV without medication. The treatment works by reactivating dormant cellular pathways that outcompete HIV's integration machinery, effectively reversing viral integration and clearing infected cells within days to weeks. Beyond HIV, Dr. Lanna discusses his team's discovery of "rivers of telomeres"—vesicle structures released by rejuvenated T-cells that can systemically rejuvenate other organs and extend lifespan by 12-17 months in animal studies. With Phase 1 human trials planned for 2026 at University College London, this research represents a potential paradigm shift from managing HIV as a chronic condition to achieving a functional cure.
