WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says this new drug—which only needs to be injected twice a year—is the next ...

This downstream structure is thought to pause the ribosome while the A and P sites are occupied by the slippery sequence. Although the precise mechanism is not fully understood, frameshifting occurs ...

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

Innovative, nontoxic molecules developed by a research team at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) ...

A cold sore might seem like a minor nuisance. But behind that tingling lip is one of the world’s most widespread and cunning viruses—herpes simplex virus type 1, or HSV-1. It infects billions of ...

In a study of human immune cells infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say a molecule within HIV itself can be manipulated and amplified to force the ...

By chemically inactivating the virus while preserving its outer structure, the vaccine aims to mimic natural HIV exposure without the risk of infection. The goal is to stimulate the production of ...

New HIV vaccines use a cluster of three viral envelop proteins and a dual immune stimulator mix to produce HIV neutralizing antibodies in humans.

Scientists have developed a new weapon against H.I.V.: a molecular mimic that invades a cell and steals essential proteins from the virus. A study published in Science on Thursday reported that ...

Viruses need host cells, and viral pathogens have many different ways to infect those hosts. Scientists have revealed a rapid movement made by a small molecule called a glycoprotein on the surface of ...
