Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

For the first time, researchers have observed how HIV penetrates the nuclear pores to the genome of human immune cells Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune ...

Curing HIV will be harder than curing cancer. But new research is promising.HIV is "like a time bomb," said James Riley, a ...

Early reports have demonstrated that CRISPR effectively excises integrated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) from cells. 1,2 For Michele Lai from the University of Pisa, these studies raised ...

Schematic representation of HIV-1 genome organization. The three coding reading frames are depicted along with their open reading frames (rectangles). Genome position is numbered according to HXB2 ...

Although several human genetic variants have been implicated in the control and spread of HIV within a host, this is the first time that a sex chromosome has been found to harbor a suspect stretch of ...

Early steps of infection by HIV-1 involve entry of the viral core into cells, reverse transcription to form the linear viral DNA, and integration of that DNA into a chromosome of the host.

Computational analysis of the variations in the HIV-1 genome sequence that correlate with preferential binding to the CCR5 (C-C-motif receptor 5) or CXCR4 (C-X-C motif receptor 4) coreceptors in ...

HIV-1, like other viruses ... was an intricate RNA structure near the critical "frameshift site" in the viral genome. This frameshift site is essential for the virus to produce the correct ...
