New insights into HIV's evolution that can improve pharmaceutical testing techniques
Treatment of HIV/AIDs has evolved greatly since the disease's emergence in 1981. When antiretrovirals were first introduced, almost every patient developed drug resistance within the first year of drug use. Today, however, ...

Study offers clearest picture yet of how HIV defeats a cellular defender
A new study offers the first atomic-scale view of an interaction between the HIV capsid - the protein coat that shepherds HIV into the nucleus of human cells - and a host protein known as cyclophilin A. This interaction is ...

Research team finds that protein motions regulate HIV infectivity
Nearly 37 million people worldwide are living with HIV. When the virus destroys so many immune cells that the body can't fight off infection, AIDS will develop. The disease took the lives of more than a million people last ...

An antibody that can attack HIV in new ways
Proteins called broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are a promising key to the prevention of infection by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. bNAbs have been found in blood samples from some HIV patients whose immune systems ...
