This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...

An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site ...

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...

A new vaccine design uses folded DNA to steer the immune system toward producing the rare immune cells needed to make ...

The HIV-1 virus can neutralize cellular defenses with its viral infectivity factor (Vif). OIST researchers Prof. Matthias Wolf and Dr. Takahide Kouno together with an international team of colleagues ...

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

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 ...
