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 ...

Cells Appear to Age Faster in People With HIV, Study Finds Scientists look at how long-term HIV infection may affect cell structure.

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

In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of HIV use to get into human immune ...

The structure of the CCR5 receptor has been determined, providing insights into its allosteric inhibition by Maraviroc, an HIV drug.

Scientists have determined the structure of the protein package that delivers the genetic material of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to human cells.

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.

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.

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 ...

A 53-year-old from Düsseldorf in Germany has become the third person in the world to be completely cured of HIV following a stem cell transplant using donor cells with a particular genetic mutation.

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...
