To become infectious, HIV has to undergo a maturation process, which involves a rearrangement of the matrix proteins (red).

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the ...

Bits of viral genes incorporated into human DNA have been linked to cancer, ALS and schizophrenia. But many of these genes may not be harmful, and could even protect against infectious disease.

Feb. 18, 2025 — Viruses, like those that cause COVID-19 or HIV, are formidable opponents once they invade our bodies. Antiviral treatments strive to block a virus or halt its replication.

Researchers reveal new insights into the how the matrix layer of HIV-1 becomes matureResearchers from the Max Planck ...

This fundamental, clearly written, and timely manuscript links the timing of ART with the kinetics of total and intact proviral HIV DNA. The conclusions are interesting and novel, and the importance ...

such as HIV, encode additional trans-regulating factors or contain cis-regulating elements, thereby influencing the type and amount of transcribed RNA. The whole viral genome is transcribed and ...

HIV medications stop the virus from making copies of itself. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved more than 50 HIV medications. HIV is transmitted through contact with blood ...
