Scientists Discover How HIV Kills Immune Cells; Findings Have Implications for HIV Treatment
June 5, 2013 — Untreated HIV infection destroys a person's immune system by killing infection-fighting cells, but precisely when and how HIV wreaks this destruction has been a mystery until now. New research ... > full story -
Detecting Disease With a Smartphone Accessory
June 4, 2013 — Engineers have created a new optical sensor that plugs in to a smartphone and, using disposable microfluidic chips, allows for inexpensive in-the-field diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancer linked ... > full story -
Mathematical Models to Better Combat HIV
May 31, 2013 — Theoretical models of HIV dynamics immediately following exposure to the virus are providing a method to study infection and treatment at these early stages, as well as assist researchers in coming ... > full story -
Surges in Latent Infections: Mathematical Analysis of Viral Blips
May 31, 2013 — Recurrent infection is a common feature of persistent viral diseases. It includes episodes of high viral production interspersed by periods of relative quiescence. These quiescent or silent stages ... > full story -
New Single Virus Detection Techniques for Faster Disease Diagnosis
May 30, 2013 — Two independent teams have developed new optics-based methods for determining the exact viral load of a sample by counting individual virus particles. These new methods are faster and cheaper than ... > full story -
Wit, Grit and a Supercomputer Yield Chemical Structure of HIV Capsid
May 29, 2013 — Researchers report that they have determined the precise chemical structure of the HIV capsid, a protein shell that protects the virus's genetic material and is a key to its virulence. The capsid has ... > full storyMore: -
Promising Strategy to Help Vaccines Outsmart HIV
May 24, 2013 — New research highlights an ingenious method to ensure the body effectively reacts when infected with the highly-evasive HIV virus that causes AIDS. The method involves the use of cytomegalovirus as a ... > full story -
New Microsphere-Based Methods for Detecting HIV Antibodies
May 24, 2013 — Detection of HIV antibodies is used to diagnose HIV infection and monitor trials of experimental HIV/AIDS vaccines. New, more sensitive detection systems being developed use microspheres to capture ... > full story -
Vaccine Blackjack: IL-21 Critical to Fight Against Viral Infections
May 23, 2013 — Scientists have shown that an immune regulatory molecule called IL-21 is needed for long-lasting antibody responses in mice against viral ... > full story -
Ferrets, Pigs Susceptible to H7N9 Avian Influenza Virus
May 23, 2013 — Chinese and US scientists have used a virus isolated from a person who died from H7N9 avian influenza infection to determine whether the virus could infect and be transmitted between ferrets. Ferrets ... > full story
