The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more vulnerable to diseases and infections. Once inside human cells, HIV ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades ...

At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...

A major bottleneck in curing HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is that the virus can hide in an inactive form within resting white blood cells, which play a crucial role in coordinating the immune ...

OHSU researchers have received a $5.8 million NIH grant to investigate whether lasting gut immune damage drives the ...

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating-and possibly even curing-the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve. But ...

For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development, and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check ...

Scientists in the Marson Lab at Gladstone Institutes have opened a new door to understanding HIV by creating the first genetic roadmap of how the virus interacts with real human cells. The human ...
