Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

A team scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of HIV use to get into human immune cells. The researchers also showed where ...

image: The new Science Express study reveals the structure of the CCR5 cell surface receptor, which most strains of HIV use to enter human immune cells. This image shows CCR5 side-by-side with ...

In the ongoing fight against HIV, scientists have taken a new step toward long-term control of the virus. Researchers have ...

Scientists have determined the structure of the protein package that delivers the genetic material of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to human cells. A team of scientists at The Scripps ...

HIV binds to receptors on human cells and then delivers the capsid inside them. Once inside a cell, the capsid comes apart, releasing its precious cargo—the virus's genetic material.

Scientists look at how long-term HIV infection may affect cell structure. — -- More than 30 years after the discovery of HIV, researchers are now learning how long-term HIV infection can ...

Technique Solves HIV Capsid Structure; ... this study established PFO-perforated VLPs as an excellent ex vivo system to study interactions between host cell factors and authentic HIV-1 capsid, ...

The structure of the CCR5 receptor has been determined, providing insights into its allosteric inhibition by Maraviroc, an HIV drug. genprowebdirectory Facebook Linkedin RSS Twitter Youtube ...

The work, which appeared in Science on January 30, 2020, provides insights that could help design or improve new treatments for HIV. Salk scientists have discovered how a powerful class of HIV ...

Using a simulation of more than 64 million atoms and a supercomputer named Blue Waters, researchers at the University of Illinois have created a digital model that could provide the key to curing HIV.

Though treatments are available, there is no cure or vaccine from HIV, which impacts about 38 million people worldwide. It's difficult to target the RNA genome of the HIV virus in part because it ...
