New study reveals HIV’s vulnerabilities, opening up possibilities for complementary therapies
Scientists have identified a new shape of an essential HIV protein that allows the virus to gain entry into our cells.
One of the many mysteries that scientists working with HIV have been trying to solve is how the virus keeps its identity hidden in the body. The virus can be detected in blood, but once it gains entry into our cells, it remains obscure and out of reach of the immune system. And this inability to detect the virus in our cells has hindered efforts to properly eliminate the disease.
But a new study’s findings suggest that we may have found a way to reveal the virus’s presence in human cells. In the study published Wednesday in , scientists were
