Four decades after the discovery of HIV-1, the retrovirus that cause AIDS, a vaccine still eludes researchers because of the virus' complex and challenging biology. HIV-1 evolves about 1 million times ...

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 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 ...

Peter H Duesberg, a German-born American molecular biologist known both for his early groundbreaking work in cancer research ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a novel method of tracking HIV infection, allowing the behavior of individual virions -- infectious particles -- to be connected to infectivity. The ...

Reported by WHO (World Health Organization), around 39 million people worldwide were living with Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV) in 2022. However, despites decades of research, HIV pathogenesis ...

HIV is "like a time bomb," said James Riley, a microbiologist at University of Pennsylvania, US. Even now — decades after the virus was identified — and with antiretroviral drugs allowing us to ...

Jianliang Xu, Ph.D., specializes in antibody research & engineers nanobodies—tiny, effective toolsagainst HIV & emerging pandemics.

Viruses need host cells, and viral pathogens have many different ways to infect those hosts. Scientists have revealed a rapid movement made by a small molecule called a glycoprotein on the surface of ...

HIV spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals. Once individuals are infected, HIV particles target our T cells, a type of white blood cell. Healthy T cells identify ...

Can HIV cure be achieved in children? Children with HIV face a lifetime of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to suppress HIV replication. While this is one outlook, an HIV cure in children would re-write ...
