A groundbreaking discovery reveals how HIV integrates its genetic material into human DNA, exposing a key viral vulnerability ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously ...

A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

A total of 10 individuals with HIV have been cured to date. Most of these patients have remained anonymous, but three have ...

The work reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism in the viral life cycle and highlights a potential vulnerability that ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 selects its integration targets in the human ...

In order for HIV to replicate, the viral genome must enter into the cell nucleus and integrate into the host cell chromosome. Previous work suggests that the entry proceeds through nuclear pore ...

During infection, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) inserts itself into the host genome as a chromosomally-integrated provirus that persists in infected cells. Although antiretroviral therapies ...

Researchers at the Ohio State University report they have settled a matter of scientific debate. In a new study, the researchers discovered a chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome that is now ...

For more than 20 years, the Duke Consortia for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Development had conducted its groundbreaking research with ...

A study on almost four thousand people of African descent has identified a gene that acts as natural defense against HIV by limiting its replication in certain white blood cells. This research paves ...
