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, ...
A major bottleneck in curing HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is that the virus can hide in an inactive form within resting white blood cells, which play a crucial role in coordinating the immune ...
The decrease in CD4 cells during HIV infection seems to be driven by immune activation, which does not always correlate with viral load. Experienced clinicians are all too familiar with the ...
How does HIV, armed with only nine genes, manage to hijack the immune system so effectively? For decades, researchers have known that the virus depends on human proteins to enter, replicate, and ...
This article is based on a poster originally authored by David Wensel, Margaret Gartland, Jagadish Beloor, Kartika Shetty, Jana Wolf, Andrew Clark, Allan Tenorio, Max Lataillade and Mark Krystal, ...
Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check at ...
Among women with HIV infection, both lower CD4 counts and higher HIV RNA viral load were associated with higher incidence rates of moderate and severe cervical dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and ...
