Since HIV was first identified as the cause of AIDS in 1983, a variety of tests have been developed that help diagnose HIV infection. Doctors determine if HIV is present in the body by identifying HIV antibodies. The [...]— Yessi Pratiwi • March 1st, 2008
Cells Defend Themselves Against HIV Viruses, a Research Suggests
Scientists at Rockefeller University and the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center have pinned down a molecule on the surface of human cells. They held the study in a mission that the research will open up the field of virology to an entirely new suite of possibilities and paves the way for future drug research. At the [...]— Yessi Pratiwi • February 13th, 2008
New Genomic Screen Method in HIV Propagation
Harvard Medical School researchers have now identified 273 human proteins required for HIV propagation. They decided to take a different approach centered on the human proteins exploited by the virus, because they thought that antiviral drugs are currently doing a good job of keeping people alive, but these therapeutics all suffer from the resistance problem. Over [...]— Yessi Pratiwi • January 15th, 2008
