This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...
Genome‑wide CRISPR screens in primary human T cells reveal human genes that promote or block HIV infection, uncovering potent ...
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack ...
HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...
Researchers found that certain immune cells, genes, and the drug metformin may help keep HIV dormant after treatment stops, ...
Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...
A nanodisc platform that offers a clearer view of how key viral proteins interact with antibodies could lead to better HIV ...
There is currently no cure for HIV, but medications can help people with the disease manage their symptoms. HIV can still develop into AIDS years after infection, however, even with disease management ...
Left: Structure of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Note the envelope protein that protects the virus against immunological detection and the small genome consisting of two short strands of RNA ...
The 64-year-old stopped antiretroviral medication 24 months after a transplant for bone marrow cancer, after his brother was ...
