Lentiviral vectors were created to harness the powerful capacity of HIV to infect cells and stably insert a stretch of genetic material into the cell genome. Their name comes from lentivirus, the ...

In contrast, lentiviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) do not depend on host cell mitosis to access the nucleus. As a consequence, lentviruses are able to replicate within non ...

Retroviruses are a sub-category of oncoviruses that include the lentiviruses. Retroviruses are negative single-stranded RNA viruses in which tRNA serves as a primer for the mRNA synthesis. The mRNA is ...

These studies should deepen our understanding of transmission and pathogenesis of HIV-1 and other lentiviruses as they cross into new species as well as provide insights into the innate immune ...

The advent of technologies that permit efficient gene transfer in human primary cells creates novel therapeutic perspectives. Based on the use of recombinant oncoretroviruses and lentiviruses, we are ...

Current projects in the laboratory focus on retroviruses, specifically the lentiviruses of humans and their primate relatives (the human and simian immunodeficiency viruses – HIV and SIV). Among other ...

An injected antiviral medicine, taken twice a year, appears to offer at-risk people near-complete protection against HIV ...

The ARViS robotic system automates virus injections into the brain with remarkable precision and minimal bleeding, advancing ...

Our present study implies that intestinal tuft cells can be trained by IL-25 and it may explain the different susceptibility ...

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV), lentiviruses, retroviruses, herpes viruses, adenoviruses and other viral vectors are used in gene and cell treatments to transfer genes. As infection with the ...

The inhibition of ERK5 is a potential complementary strategy for countering FAK inhibitor resistance in patients with lung ...

VANCOUVER - Construction of Vancouver's first indoor supervised site for people who inhale illicit drugs is complete in the city's Downtown Eastside and its executive director says people could start ...
