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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
