the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow) near the end of the budding process; the cell they’ve infected is in blue.

For the first time, the treatments would be aimed not at the virus itself, but at a portal through which HIV enters white blood cells and attacks the immune system. Scientists in 1996 identified ...

Two new crystal structures shed light on how a component of the endosomal budding machinery is co-opted by human immunodeficiency virus ... cell surface. Figure 1: Domain organization and ...

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 ...

HIV is a virus. Viruses are microscopic germs that are unable to multiply (replicate) by themselves. Instead, they need to find and infect a cell that will act as a host in which new viruses can be ...

Lipids are the fatty molecules that make up cellular membranes, creating a protective barrier that regulates what enters and ...

This study, published in eLife on April 7, 2025, focused on broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs): a class of highly potent immune cells that latch onto a part of the HIV virus known as ... “The ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at ...

The HIV capsid is a cone-shaped structure that provides a container for viral proteins and enzymes. When the virus enters a target cell, the capsid opens up in a pre-programmed sequence to allow HIV ...
