Two new crystal structures shed light on how a component of the endosomal budding machinery is co-opted by human immunodeficiency virus ... cell surface. Figure 1: Domain organization and ...

They mainly attack bacteria and fungi. HIV is a virus. Viruses are microscopic germs that are unable to multiply (replicate) by themselves. Instead, they need to find and infect a cell that will act ...

“This study reveals that this enzyme [nSMase2] is such an enzyme that the virus has evidently hijacked to use in its replication strategy.” Previous research suggested that HIV infection increased the ...

Researchers discovered a highly virulent variant of HIV in the Netherlands ... host more likely to transmit the virus to others. Additionally, the rate of CD4 cell decline occurred twice as ...

If a person with HIV doesn’t take their medications as prescribed, the drugs could stop working for them, and the virus could start multiplying. Adherence requires taking every dose, every day ...
