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 ...

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

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

As the HIV virus glides up outside a human cell to dock and possibly inject its deadly cargo of genetic code, there’s a spectacularly brief moment in which a tiny piece of its surface snaps open to ...

This distinction is important because although inhibiting P-TEFb blocks replication of the HIV virus, P-TEFb is a vital protein in human cells and inhibiting it kills cells.

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

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 ...

Research by a multi-institutional team, including two members from the University of Delaware, has revealed new details about the HIV virus capsid structure and how it develops. A capsid is a protein ...

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 ...

The HIV of one cell could look completely different from the HIV of another—and any intel the immune system may have stored can quickly become obsolete, allowing the virus to slip by unnoticed.

There's no easy answer for HIV; the sly virus uses our own immune cells to its advantage and mutates readily to shrug off round after round of ...
