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 ...
UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...
Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells ...

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 ...
Research suggests sickle cell anemia may offer some protection against HIV and may also slow HIV progression. However, experts still need further research to understand why this occurs. Share on ...
