This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

For millions of people living with HIV, a daily regimen of medications is a lifelong necessity. If they stop taking the drugs ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...

There is currently no cure for HIV, but medications can help people with the disease manage their symptoms. HIV can still develop into AIDS years after infection, however, even with disease management ...

Is a cure for HIV in sight? Since the virus that causes AIDS was identified over 40 years ago, finding a cure has been the holy grail of HIV research and the army of scientists conducting it. While ...

HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping ...
