Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...

A Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications has revealed how HIV can protect infected cells by altering the sugars on their surface, hindering the host immune system and avoiding ...

Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...

Study findings provide a new gene pathway for potential treatment of the virus affecting millions. Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the ...

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 ...

Now, Gilead has conducted an analysis of a phenomenon that can undermine all infectious disease therapies, including ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can infect bone marrow cells -- including, possibly, hematopoietic stem cells, according to a study published online today (March 7) in Nature Medicine. Human ...

Scientists have successfully zapped HIV out of infected cells — raising hopes of a cure for the chronic disease. The team from Amsterdam UMC used gene-editing technology to eliminate all traces of the ...

Ty Roush is a breaking news reporter based in New York City. A German man appears to have been cured of HIV after he received a first-of-its-kind stem cell transplant procedure nearly a decade ago, ...

While it’s still far too early to conclude whether the technique could be used to cure HIV, as the BBC reports — let alone whether it’s safe and effective in the long run — scientists are hopeful that ...
