Though treatments are available, there is no cure or vaccine from HIV, which impacts about 38 million people worldwide. It's difficult to target the RNA genome of the HIV virus in part because it ...

HIV is a human-specific pathogen that does not cause disease in other species, although it can replicate in chimpanzees. HIV cannot infect mice, rats, rabbits, or macaques. Previous HIV mouse models ...

A new technique using electron tomography and subtomogram averaging at Diamond's electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), has solved the structure of the HIV capsid alone and in complex with host factors.

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 ...

Scientists at the Electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, in the U.K., have harnessed a new technique, using cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and subtomogram averaging (STA) to ...

A team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Children's National Hospital has developed a unique pre-clinical model that enables the study of long-term HIV infection, and the testing of new ...

The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Healthcare Transition (HCT) clinic — a pediatric-to-adult HIV care model — achieved a high 1-year retention rate but a suboptimal viral suppression rate despite ...
