Scientists extracted a near-complete HIV-1 genome from a lymph node that had been preserved in wax for more than 50 years. The sample stands as the oldest HIV-1 genome yet recovered, predating the ...

Delve into the landscape of biotech companies developing treatments for HIV and find out if we are getting closer to a cure.

Wesley Sundquist, a biochemist at University of Utah, and Tomas Cihlar, a virologist at Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company, ...

HIV-1 particles are released from infected cells ... scientists have explored the structural changes of the virus capsid ...

Although several human genetic variants have been implicated in the control and spread of HIV within a host, this is the first time that a sex chromosome has been found to harbor a suspect stretch of ...

Controversial figure stands by a research approach that landed him in prison as he aims to tackle Alzheimer’s disease.

Schematic representation of HIV-1 genome organization. The three coding reading frames are depicted along with their open reading frames (rectangles). Genome position is numbered according to HXB2 ...

Curing HIV will be harder than curing cancer. Apart from a few 'miracle' cases, antiretrovirals only suppress HIV, they don't kill it. But new research is promising.

We identify individuals with acute HIV infection. We screen them twice ... high-throughput machines in the country to enable human genome sequencing. Partnership with the MGI, to have their ...

HIV drug susceptibility tests can evaluate either the genotype or phenotype of the predominant viral quasispecies. The HIV genotype refers to the actual DNA sequence of the virus; the phenotype ...

Both of these vaccine vehicles express a common ‘chimeric’ protein derived from small parts of the HIV genome. The vaccine focuses on the induction of cell-mediated immune responses.
