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 ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development, and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check ...

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

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, ...

Immunocore’s big swing for a functional HIV cure has cleared its first hurdle. No serious adverse events were tied to the British biotech’s bispecific T-cell engager in a phase 1/2 trial, and the ...

Researchers at the University of Washington and Fred Hutch found that CARD8, an inflammasome sensor, detects HIV-1 in macrophages during cell-to-cell viral transmissions from infected T cells. HIV can ...

Around the world, some 40 million people are living with HIV. And though progress in treatment means the infection isn’t the death sentence it once was, researchers have never been able to bring about ...
