University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly ...

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppresses HIV viral load and controls disease, but does not fully eradicate latent HIV. Transcriptionally silent proviruses integrate in CD4+ T cells and ...

Recently, biology professor Anding Shen landed a $300, 000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the role of endothelial cells in HIV infection—a project that will occupy her for ...

Understanding HIV latency at the molecular level is crucial for efforts to eliminate the viral scourge that causes AIDS. Latent infected cell reservoirs—where the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ...

An international study led by MELIS-UPF researchers from the Infection Biology and Molecular Virology laboratories has identified and characterized Schlafen 12 (SLFN 12) as a novel HIV restriction ...

Dr. Michael Emerman, a professor in the Human Biology and Basic Sciences Divisions of Fred Hutch, has been hunting the secrets of HIV replication for decades. “There are nearly 40 million people ...

Ongoing research investigating how HIV remains as a latent reservoir in resting T helper cells to ensure viral persistence in patients that have undergone treatment with highly active antiretroviral ...

Researchers contribute to a better understanding of HIV-1 latency: implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies. The contribution of antiretroviral drugs to the treatment of HIV-1 ...

The Wistar Institute and the University of Buea in Cameroon has uncovered the mechanisms for a medicinal plant with anti-HIV potential in Croton oligandrus Pierre & Hutch, a species of African tree ...

However, activating NF-kB also has the affect of loosening chromatin, which HIV recruits in another mechanism of latency. Therefore, upregulating the viral activator would be "good for both of these ...

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, ...
