This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...

HIV-seq identifies key differences in HIV-infected cells before and after starting antiretroviral therapy to support treatment research.

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...

The tiny shell protecting the HIV virus resembles a slightly rounded ice cream cone, but there is nothing sweet about it.

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

Researchers revealed that HIV integrase forms structural filaments within the viral capsid, enabling viral infectivity. The discovery uncovers a new drug target, opening possibilities for ...

Long-acting antiviral medications are transforming HIV prevention and care, requiring only minimalistic dosing. But as the use of lenacapavir expands, scientists are probing a critical question: If ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The outer shell, called the capsid (yellow and purple) envelopes the viral RNA genome (blue). Illustration credit: Janet Iwasa Accomplishing a feat that had been a ...
