Researchers have found that latent but replication-competent HIV can lie dormant in immune cells in the brain for years. The corresponding study was published in JCI. The HIV virus targets CD4+ ...

As a part of its life cycle, human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) inserts a copy of its DNA into human immune cells. Some of these newly infected immune cells can then transition into a dormant, ...

There are many regions of the body that are difficult to reach with drug treatments, most notably the brain, which is surrounded by the famously impenetrable blood-brain barrier. Now, researchers led ...

HIV viruses infecting T-lymphocytes, computer illustration. The surface of the T-cell has a lumpy appearance with large irregular surface protrusions. Smaller spherical structures on the cell surface ...

In a recent article published in the journal Molecular Cell, researchers present a valuable data resource that provides in-depth insights into cellular and genetic mechanisms governing human ...

Researchers detail the mechanism by which HIV infection blocks the maturation process of brain cells that produce myelin, a fatty substance that insulates neurons. It's long been known that people ...

A new study on how the HIV infection affects the development of intellect and other areas of brain development in children shows that early treatment doesn’t completely avert these negative outcomes.

Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has shifted HIV infection from a fatal to a chronic condition. New evidence now suggests this has been accompanied by a shift in the profile of HIV-related ...

Researchers have found that astrocytes, a type of brain cell can harbor HIV and then spread the virus to immune cells that traffic out of the brain and into other organs. HIV moved from the brain via ...
