The herpes virus can lay dormant in the body for decades. Its ability to hide in the body has always been a mystery until now. Knowing how it manages to survive in a dormant state should lead to new forms of treatment picked by 2manyusernames 2 months ago

If the battle against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is a chess match, then new research gives new insight into one of the virus' most important moves. picked by lsojunkie 5 months ago

With the latest advances in treatment, doctors have discovered that they can successfully neutralise the HIV virus. The so-called ‘combination therapy’ prevents the HIV virus from mutating and spreading, allowing patients to rebuild their immune system to the same levels as the rest of the population. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago

UCLA researchers have found that a key protein in the body's dendritic cells can stop the virus that causes AIDS from "budding" part of the virus' life cycle that is crucial to its ability to replicate and infect other cells. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Scientist pinpointed a place on the outside of the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)that could be vulnerable to antibodies that could block it from infecting human cells. picked by beany11 2 years ago

Using cells in a lab dish, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that diindolymethane (DIM), a compound resulting from digestion of cruciferous vegetables, and genistein, an isoflavone in soy, reduce the production of two proteins needed for breast and ovarian cancers to spread. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

HIV manages to constantly change its code preventing the body from creating antibodies against it. However one section must not change so that the virus can attach to other cells. This offers what appears to be a method of destroying the virus. picked by 2manyusernames 1 month ago

One day soon patients may spit in a cup, instead of bracing for a needle prick, when being tested for cancer, heart disease or diabetes. A major step in that direction is the cataloging of the “complete” salivary proteome, a set of proteins in human ductal saliva. Replacing blood draws with saliva tests promises to make disease diagnosis, as well as the tracking of treatment efficacy, ... read full post picked by 2manyusernames 5 months ago
