A new vaccine design uses folded DNA to steer the immune system toward producing the rare immune cells needed to make ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

A new study overthrows a long-held theory on how HIV finds its way into host cells. Rather than fusing directly with the host cell membrane, the virus is first engulfed by it to form a vesicle that ...

An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site and overcomes previous limitations of known antibodies. This study, led by ...

In order for HIV to replicate, the viral genome must enter into the cell nucleus and integrate into the host cell chromosome. Previous work suggests that the entry proceeds through nuclear pore ...

UNSW medical researcher Dr. David Jacques and his team have discovered how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) breaches the cell nucleus to establish infection, a finding that has implications ...

There are currently ~38 million people worldwide living with HIV. If left untreated, HIV infection progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) where patients become extremely vulnerable to ...
