UNSW medical researcher Dr. David Jacques and his team have discovered how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) breaches the cell nucleus to establish infection, a finding that has implications ...

A Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications has revealed how HIV can protect infected cells by altering the sugars on their surface, hindering the host immune system and avoiding ...

Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...

HIV infects certain cells in the brain called microglia, and infected microglia release toxic and inflammatory molecules that can impair or kill surrounding neurons. Researchers have been limited in ...

Researchers have identified new drug candidates that may be able to prevent HIV-infected cells from escaping detection by the immune system. A team from the Univerisity of Pittsburgh School of ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...

Scientists have successfully zapped HIV out of infected cells — raising hopes of a cure for the chronic disease. The team from Amsterdam UMC used gene-editing technology to eliminate all traces of the ...
