A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible ...

HIV-1 elicits RNA silencing in human cells ... In addition, they found that the virus prevents RNA silencing through a suppressor present in its Tat protein, which interferes with Dicer's activity.

Pseudoscience has recently re-emerged in the U.S. While much of it concerns vaccines, an "oldie" is again making the rounds: ...

The HIV-1 Rev protein plays a crucial role in the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by facilitating the export of viral RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This process is ...

The "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Epidemiology Forecast to 2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This report provides an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, ...

“By understanding how the virus cleverly manipulates our cells ... Grant VH-NG-1347 and the Center for Structural Biology of HIV-1 RNA U54 AI170660. Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection ...

The RNA interference system that cells ... largely "proof-of-principle" studies, stopping the virus in cell cultures, not human patients. HIV mutates and evolves resistance so rapidly that any ...

The HIV virus apparently does invade those T cells ... it begins to copy its RNA into DNA, Greene and his colleague Gilad Doitsh explain. That process, called reverse transcription, is what ...

Once HIV has bound to CD4, it activates other proteins on the surface of the human cell known as CCR5 and CXCR4 in order to complete its fusion with the cell. Once fusion has occurred, the inside of ...
