A Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications has revealed how HIV can protect infected cells by altering the sugars on their surface, hindering the host immune system and avoiding ...
Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...
At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...
HIV infects certain cells in the brain called microglia, and infected microglia release toxic and inflammatory molecules that can impair or kill surrounding neurons. Researchers have been limited in ...
Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells ...
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes healthy adults to become immunosuppressed, integrates its viral genetic code into the genome of the immune CD4+ T cells. While ...
Do you notice the tiny red-ringed dots in this image? Those little spots are HIV particles. They are concentrated on contact points in the brain between an infected immune cell and an uninfected ...
What criteria or characteristics would you use to group living things versus nonliving things? Scientists have grappled with this question for years, and the debate is still ongoing in the scientific ...
What do the Tinder dating app and our immune system have in common? They are both committed to swiping candidates to screen for the perfect match. However, instead of love, our immune system is ...
