Inside Amelia Escolano's lab. Meet Amelia Escolano and Avi Srivastava, two impressive researchers at Wistar. Escolano is working on a technique for an effective HIV vaccine and Srivastava is ...
Addressing the question of whether and how immune cells (macrophages) in the central nervous system (CNS) traffic out, researchers have now identified a perineural pathway through which the HIV virus ...
A new study has overcome a long-standing challenge: how to isolate and study elusive HIV-infected cells called authentic reservoir clones (ARCs) that evade the immune system, making the disease ...
For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve. But ...
HIV virus is one of the most pressing health concerns facing the modern world. Since the first reported case of HIV/AIDS in 1981, over 25 million people have died. Out of the millions of people ...
HIV spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals. Once individuals are infected, HIV particles target our T cells, a type of white blood cell. Healthy T cells identify ...
