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 ...

CBD may be a promising therapy for people living with HIV. While the virus can be controlled with treatment, it can still wreak havoc on the brain and cause problems with cognition. FIU researchers ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check at ...

There are currently ~38 million people worldwide living with HIV. If left untreated, HIV infection progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) where patients become extremely vulnerable to ...

A few decades ago, the idea of an HIV cure sounded unrealistic. Today, doctors describe a carefully documented case where the virus appears to be gone for good after a rare stem cell transplant. A ...

Each summer three undergraduate students work with Dr. Anding Shen investigating the roles of endothelial cells on HIV infection and latency formation in resting T helper cells. In many patients with ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a germ that causes a lifelong infection that slowly weakens the immune system. Though the infection is lifelong, medicines can keep the virus in check and help ...

At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...

UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have developed a method to understand how HIV and other viruses first begin to infect our cells, and that could help us prevent COVID-19 and ...

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 ...
