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.

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 ...

HIV incorporates its DNA into the DNA of every cell it infects, meaning the virus cannot be completely eliminated from the body. Therefore antiretroviral therapy is not a cure, and people with HIV ...

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 ...

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

many CD4 T cells are killed by the HIV virus, the reason for which researchers seem to have discovered at last. In spite of seeming to be just 'bystander cells'that escape infection, many CD4 T ...

Since HIV’s discovery in the 1980s, scientists have come a long way in understanding the different steps required for its assembly and maturation. Researchers knew, for instance, that HIV wraps its ...

Researchers discovered a highly virulent variant of HIV in the Netherlands ... host more likely to transmit the virus to others. Additionally, the rate of CD4 cell decline occurred twice as ...
