The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are the two major coreceptors for HIV entry. Numerous efforts have been made to develop a new class of anti-HIV agents that target these coreceptors as an ...
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 ...
A 60-year-old man in Germany has become at least the seventh person with HIV to be announced free of the virus after receiving a stem-cell transplant. But the man, who has been virus-free for close to ...
A woman in New York City who has no detectable HIV after undergoing a new type of stem cell transplant may represent another rare cure, researchers reported February 15 at the annual Conference on ...
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, ...
Researchers believe they have cured a woman in New York of HIV, by using stem cells from an umbilical cord. The woman has not shown any signs of HIV since ended treatment in October 2020. She is ...
Benjamin K. Chen, MD, PhD, discussed the next steps after the results of his study in genetic tagging showed promise in targeting HIV cells. How do you envision gene therapy working with other forms ...
Adam Castillejo, known as "the London Patient," recovered from cancer and HIV following a stem cell transplant. Sabine Dobel/dpa The man and the woman standing side by side are like family, though ...
In the last year, over 40 million people in the world were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In 2024, over a million were diagnosed with HIV and roughly 630,000 died due to HIV-related ...
To prevent viruses from infecting cells, our immune systems depend on antibodies. Antibodies bind specific antigens present on viruses to tag them for destruction. For some antibodies, known as ...
