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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for ...

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 ...

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 ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes healthy adults to become immunosuppressed, integrates its viral genetic code into the genome of the immune CD4+ T cells. While ...

Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures associated with HIV infection that may contribute to the cognitive ...

There are currently ~38 million people worldwide living with HIV. If left untreated, HIV infection progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) where patients become extremely vulnerable to ...
