Researchers in Melbourne may have taken a major step toward an HIV cure after discovering a new way to unmask the virus ...

In an important discovery, researchers from Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine have identified a never-before-seen mechanism that enables the human immunodeficiency ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects more than a tenth of Americans aged 65 and older.

HIV uses reverse transcriptase to translate its RNA into DNA (reverse transcription). Blocking this process stops HIV from replicating. The American Chemical Society (ACS) honored the discovery of ...

These reservoirs have long been thought to be dormant, but two independent groups of researchers report that a subset of these cells spontaneously produce HIV RNA and proteins that may impact ...

In people who received an injection of long-acting cabotegravir within the previous 6 months, an isolated positive HIV RNA test had a positive predictive value of 9.1% (95% CI 1.6-30.6), reported ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs, and an intricate frameshift site structure that regulate viral protein synthesis. These findings highlight ...

HIV viral load tests look for RNA, the part of HIV that has the recipe for reproducing itself. They add an enzyme, a kind of protein, to make more copies of the RNA. This makes it easier to ...

Previous studies have shown that when “dormant” HIV reservoir cells are reactivated in the lab, they produce viral RNA and proteins, but it wasn’t clear whether this phenomenon was happening ...
