In particular, miR29 plays a key role in controlling the HIV life cycle. The study suggests that HIV may have co-opted this cellular defense mechanism to help the virus hide from the immune system ...

Scientists at the UCSF-afiliated Gladstone Institutes are one step closer to understanding and overcoming one of the least-understood mechanisms of HIV infection — by devising a method to precisely ...

The researchers found that IP6 plays an important part in both the immature and mature phases of the HIV life cycle as the virus assembles its structure. “This small molecule acts in two different ...

However, if left undiagnosed or untreated, HIV can develop into AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), a disease which led to the deaths of nearly 1 million people worldwide in 2017.

As 2020 draws closer, the deadline to end AIDS by 2030 looms large. The aim is to achieve the ambitious targets of "90-90-90." That is, 90% of people living with HIV knowing their status; 90% of ...

According to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, more than 1.2 million people in the United States are currently diagnosed with HIV and 1 in 8 people who contract the virus are unaware of their status.

At the time, the death rate for AIDS patients was estimated to be 65%. In 1983, scientists discovered the retrovirus that causes AIDS and named it the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.

In particular, miR29 plays a key role in controlling the HIV life cycle. The study suggests that HIV may have co-opted this cellular defense mechanism to help the virus hide from the immune system ...

Scientists have gotten us one step closer to understanding and overcoming one of the least-understood mechanisms of HIV infection -- by devising a method to precisely track the life cycle of ...
