Kei Sato was looking for his next big challenge five years ago when it smacked him — and the world — in the face. The ...

After entering an immune cell, HIV's single-stranded RNA genome is reverse-transcribed into double-stranded DNA, which is how our cells store genetic information. The virus' genome is incorporated ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Smuggling its genome into the nucleus is essential for HIV to infect its host, but entering the cell’s control center is no easy feat. Molecules ...

One of the significant challenges in HIV treatment is the virus's ability to integrate its genome into the host's DNA, making ...

“The HIV genome is very small, so to replicate itself, it hijacks all sorts of cellular machinery. nSMase2 is one piece of this hijacked machinery that we found is absolutely essential for HIV to ...

Gilead Sciences announced a significant milestone: the U.S. FDA accepted their New Drug Applications (NDAs) for lenacapavir ...

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the ...

Computational analysis of the variations in the HIV-1 genome sequence that correlate with preferential binding to the CCR5 (C-C-motif receptor 5) or CXCR4 (C-X-C motif receptor 4) coreceptors in ...

An effective HIV-1 vaccine must therefore elicit antibodies that can neutralize many variants of the virus. While broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have been isolated from HIV-1 infected ...

HIV drug susceptibility tests can evaluate either the genotype or phenotype of the predominant viral quasispecies. The HIV genotype refers to the actual DNA sequence of the virus; the phenotype ...

such as HIV, encode additional trans-regulating factors or contain cis-regulating elements, thereby influencing the type and amount of transcribed RNA. The whole viral genome is transcribed and ...
