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 ...

HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping ...

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 ...

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve. But ...

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, ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes healthy adults to become immunosuppressed, integrates its viral genetic code into the genome of the immune CD4+ T cells. While ...

For millions of people living with HIV, a daily regimen of medications is a lifelong necessity. If they stop taking the drugs ...

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 ...

Findings identify genes that may represent possible new targets for a "block and lock" strategy for curing HIV.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a germ that causes a lifelong infection that slowly weakens the immune system. Though the infection is lifelong, medicines can keep the virus in check and help ...

A dual-action HIV antibody–drug conjugate forces Env to open, then blocks it, boosting virus neutralization up to tenfold in ...

Research suggests sickle cell anemia may offer some protection against HIV and may also slow HIV progression. However, experts still need further research to understand why this occurs. Share on ...
