Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 selects its integration targets in the human ...

Using gene editing technology, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have, for the first time, successfully excised a segment of HIV-1 DNA - the virus responsible for ...

Background: 40 million people live with HIV globally, and that number continues to rise. While therapies exist to reduce the amount of HIV in a patient’s body and, in turn, reduce HIV symptoms, there ...

In an important discovery, researchers from Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine have identified a never-before-seen mechanism that enables the human immunodeficiency ...

On the left is integrase in its “intasome” structure of four identical four-part complexes (pink) that connect to create one 16-part complex that locks around viral DNA (blue). On the right is ...

Since the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified in 1983, roughly 91.4 million people around the world have contracted the virus and an additional 44.1 million have died from related causes ...

Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells in lab studies. Here’s what the research means and what comes next.
