CD8 T lymphocytes from immunologically stable HIV-1-infected secrete a soluble factor — termed CAF —, which suppresses HIV-1 replication, but the exact identity of CAF has been unclear. In September ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers in France investigated the cellular function and antiviral role of human SAMD9L and its paralog SAMD9 (short for sterile alpha ...

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 ...

It was previously demonstrated that the HIV-1 integrase (IN)-interacting host factor INI1/SMARCB1 binds to HIV-1 IN through its Rpt1 domain of INI1 (INI1-Rpt1) and plays a key role in assembly and ...

A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

Researchers at the Ohio State University report they have settled a matter of scientific debate. In a new study, the researchers discovered a chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome that is now ...

HIV-1 infection, in combination with other antiretrovirals, in treatment-experienced adults with evidence of viral replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple antiretrovirals. Raltegravir ...

There is currently no cure for HIV, but medications can help people with the disease manage their symptoms. HIV can still develop into AIDS years after infection, however, even with disease management ...

More than 20 years after the discovery of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), complete eradication of HIV infection has not yet been achieved. While ART controls viral replication, it is not a ...

Beyond both being viruses, HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 don't seem to have a lot in common. HIV-1 is a retrovirus that integrates ...
