Pseudoscience has recently re-emerged in the U.S. While much of it concerns vaccines, an "oldie" is again making the rounds: ...

They graphically represent the life cycle of HIV-1, from the initial binding of the viral particle onto a host cell (Viral Entry), through insinuation into the host cell's nucleus to spark the ...

despite their ability to resist full infection by HIV, respond to the presence of viral DNA by sacrificing themselves via pyroptosis—a highly inflammatory form of cell death that lures more CD4 T ...

Over the past decades, understanding and treating HIV infection has advanced tremendously. This year the drug lenacapavir, which blocks release of the viral genome in the cell and effectively ...

By combining cell infection studies with single-molecule imaging, the researchers showed how lenacapavir disrupted the HIV life cycle. Some theorized that the drug hardens the capsid to lock the ...

or a ‘central DNA flap,’ as a component of HIV nuclear import. The retroviral replication cycle requires that retroviral nucleic acids integrate into the cellular DNA of the host cell.

HIV-1, like other viruses, lacks the machinery to produce its own proteins and must rely on the host cell to translate its genetic instructions. After entering host cells, it seizes control of the ...

AIDS researchers continue to make progress in battling HIV, addressing the fight with a ... A mumps virus enters the body, then enters a cell. There it makes copies of itself.

That loss of CD4 T cells marks the progression from HIV infection to ... stopped the CD4 T cell killing, they report. Those drugs that act later in the life cycle to prevent reverse transcription ...

Active host-pathogen interactions take place during infection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Outcomes of these interactions determine the efficiency of viral infection and ...
