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

Curing HIV will be harder than curing cancer. But new research is promising.HIV is "like a time bomb," said James Riley, a microbiologist at University of Pennsylvania, US. Scott Kitchen, an expert in ...

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 ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more vulnerable to diseases and infections. Once inside human cells ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

For some HIV vaccines, repetitive immunizations lead to a chain reaction of antibody production against immune complexes already bound to viral proteins.

especially in the context of HIV vaccination," says Andrew Ward, Ph.D., professor of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology at Scripps Research and senior author of the new paper.
