Though treatments are available, there is no cure or vaccine from HIV, which impacts about 38 million people worldwide. It's difficult to target the RNA genome of the HIV virus in part because it ...

In a discovery that could spur the development of new therapies for more than 40 million HIV patients worldwide, scientists from Rutgers University and the Salk Institute determined the molecular ...

A team of scientists at the Salk Institute and Rutgers University has determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, the process ...

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...

Now, Gilead has conducted an analysis of a phenomenon that can undermine all infectious disease therapies, including lenacapavir—HIV’s ability to evolve resistance to the breakthrough antiviral.

Scientists have determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, or the process through which the virus propagates itself and ...

A new technique using electron tomography and subtomogram averaging at Diamond's electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), has solved the structure of the HIV capsid alone and in complex with host factors.

Yet certain details of that virion assembly have been lacking for four decades. In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Jamil Saad, Ph.D., and colleagues ...

LA JOLLA—(July 6, 2022) Understanding how HIV replicates within cells is key for developing new therapies that could help nearly 40 million people living with HIV globally. Now, a team of scientists ...
