“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 ...

A new chemical compound has been making a big impression in the fight against cancer in recent years. Now it seems EBC-46, ...

The enzymes have cut open the round vectors and ... You have just produced a naked-DNA HIV vaccine. Trials for a genetic vaccine that may protect against AIDS began in 1995. These vaccines ...

HIV-1, the virus responsible for AIDS, relies on several key enzymes for its replication, including reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase. Reverse transcriptase is crucial for converting the ...

On a nitty-gritty biological level, EBC-46 binds to a key enzyme known as protein kinase C, or PKC. Numerous cellular processes rely on PKC, and many are involved with major diseases including AIDS ...

Once HIV has bound to CD4, it activates other proteins on the surface of the human cell known as CCR5 and CXCR4 in order to complete its fusion with the cell. Once fusion has occurred, the inside of ...

Major barriers in screening for fatty liver disease in patients with HIV included uncertainties about testing, diagnostic ...

It includes the following drugs: Integrase inhibitors target a protein in HIV called integrase which is essential for viral replication. Integrase is responsible for inserting viral genomic DNA into ...

In a new study, people living with HIV who got standard meds to keep the virus at bay also had much lower rates of Alzheimer's disease-- suggesting the drugs might also lower risks for the brain ...

HIV serostatus was the outcome of interest. HIV testing was performed using HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibody testing with confirmatory Western blot in Clinical Laboratory ...

Reverse Transcriptase: An enzyme used by retroviruses like HIV to convert their RNA into DNA, allowing the virus to integrate into the host's genome. NRTIs: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase ...
