CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check at ...

Some people infected with HIV are teeming with virus, but don’t get sick. Their resistive powers probably come from a mix of genetics and unique immune responses, according to a study of such rare ...

HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have conducted cell studies showing that an existing ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection leads to severe systemic inflammation, increasing non-AIDS morbidity and mortality risk. CD39 ectoenzyme on T-cells, which ...

Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a discovery that brings medical experts one step closer to a cure ...

A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into ...

The National Institutes of Health placed a big bet on Oregon scientist Jonah Sacha this week, awarding Sacha and his colleagues an $8.4 million, five-year grant for their work developing a cure for ...

Researchers from Linköping University find that HIV exhausts the body’s immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment HIV exhausts the body’s immune system by ...

Study findings provide a new gene pathway for potential treatment of the virus affecting millions. Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the ...
