Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells ...

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 ...

The global challenge posed by HIV-1 infection continues to drive research into its underlying mechanisms and the host immune response. Central to this pursuit is the role of T cells, particularly CD4 ...

Researchers at the University of Washington and Fred Hutch found that CARD8, an inflammasome sensor, detects HIV-1 in macrophages during cell-to-cell viral transmissions from infected T cells. HIV can ...

In 2014, a team of researchers in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University became the first to successfully eliminate the HIV-1 virus from cultured human cells. Fewer than two years ...

The immune system remains seriously out-of-whack—in an inflammatory state of overactivation and impaired ...

The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded on Monday to three scientists for discovering how a particular kind of cell can stop the body's immune system from attacking itself. The discovery of these ...

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 ...
