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 ...

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 ...

Salk Institute researchers, in collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists, have discovered the molecular mechanisms by which human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) becomes resistant ...

On the left is integrase in its “intasome” structure of four identical four-part complexes (pink) that connect to create one 16-part complex that locks around viral DNA (blue). On the right is ...

A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

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 ...

Cognitive aging in virally suppressed HIV parallels those without HIV, while detectable viral load is linked to steeper cognitive decline.
