Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

Scientists have identified a natural human protein that can rouse dormant HIV inside infected cells, a finding that sharpens one of the most promising paths toward a cure. By showing that the virus’s ...

A research team led by Professor Chu Hin (first right) and Professor Chen Zhiwei (first left) has discovered that inhibiting the BRD9 protein can effectively reactivate latent HIV-1. When used in ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers in France investigated the cellular function and antiviral role of human SAMD9L and its paralog SAMD9 (short for sterile alpha ...

An immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections appears to be the mechanism that drives human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into a latent state, lurking in cells only to erupt anew, ...

Researchers in Germany have discovered that a protein found in semen dramatically enhances the rate of HIV infection. A study published in the medical journal Cell describes how this protein latches ...

People infected with HIV must take antiretroviral drugs for life. But engineered antibodies appeared to suppress the virus for certain participants in recent trials in Africa and Europe A digital ...
