A new study has overcome a long-standing challenge: how to isolate and study elusive HIV-infected cells called authentic reservoir clones (ARCs) that evade the immune system, making the disease ...
UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW Sydney medical scientists have cracked a mystery whose solution has long eluded researchers. UNSW ...
Scientists isolated and grew rare HIV reservoir clones that allow the virus to persist despite therapy. The study shows that ...
A Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications has revealed how HIV can protect infected cells by altering the sugars on their surface, hindering the host immune system and avoiding ...
Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...
Each summer three undergraduate students work with Dr. Anding Shen investigating the roles of endothelial cells on HIV infection and latency formation in resting T helper cells. In many patients with ...

Scientists have successfully zapped HIV out of infected cells — raising hopes of a cure for the chronic disease. The team from Amsterdam UMC used gene-editing technology to eliminate all traces of the ...
At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...
CBD may be a promising therapy for people living with HIV. While the virus can be controlled with treatment, it can still wreak havoc on the brain and cause problems with cognition. FIU researchers ...
This article originally appeared on Medical Daily. A cure for HIV has remained elusive, partly due to the virus' ability to hide and lie dormant in "reservoir cells." However, as explained in a recent ...
The global challenge posed by HIV-1 infection continues to drive research into its underlying mechanisms and the host immune response. Central to this pursuit is the role of T cells, particularly CD4 ...
