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 ...

Researchers in Germany have discovered that a protein found in semen dramatically enhances the rate of HIV infection. A study published in the medical journal Cell describes how this protein latches ...

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 ...

Each summer three undergraduate students work with Dr. Anding Shen investigating the roles of endothelial cells on HIV infection and latency formation in resting T helper cells. In many patients with ...

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, ...

The global challenge posed by HIV-1 infection continues to drive research into its underlying mechanisms and the host immune response. Central to this pursuit is the role of T cells, particularly CD4 ...

Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells ...

Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...
