It now seems likely that an effective vaccine for HIV will not be found within the next 10–15 years, and it's clear that a back-to-basics approach is needed to learn more about the biology of ...

Curing HIV will be harder than curing cancer. Apart from a few 'miracle' cases, antiretrovirals only suppress HIV, they don't ...

This is a mugshot of a killer. The little yellow dots are HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) particles, also called virions. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), an ...

Do you notice the tiny red-ringed dots in this image? Those little spots are HIV particles. They are concentrated on contact points in the brain between an infected immune cell and an uninfected ...

These findings into HIV biology could help to inform the search for new treatments. The paper is published in the journal ...

The study is published in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. HIV-1, like other viruses, lacks the machinery to produce its own proteins and must rely on the host cell to translate ...

A unique reaction in which antibodies bind to other antibodies may help scientists at Scripps Research better understand how ...

Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

Redmond Smyth received funding from the Helmholtz Young Investigator Grant VH-NG-1347 and the Center for Structural Biology of HIV-1 RNA U54 AI170660. Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection ...

Researchers at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute are one step closer to creating a vaccine for HIV. Researchers at the Duke ...

Dr. Julie Overbaugh studies HIV. She is particularly interested in factors that influence HIV transmission. She has been involved in decades-long research studies in Kenya that focus on HIV ...
