Other methods freeze or otherwise fix cells as new HIV particles emerge from them, and use an electron microscope to photograph those freeze-frame views of viral replication.

CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, began spreading worldwide in 2020, many research teams immediately set to work developing a vaccine against it. Building on decades of previous work on ...

The film also addresses the challenges posed by rapidly mutating viruses, such as HIV, and the ongoing efforts in medical research to control viral infections.

FILE - This colorized electron microscope image provided by the U.S. National Institutes of Health shows a human T cell, in blue, under attack by HIV, in yellow, the virus that causes AIDS.

Medical researchers dropped their microscopes on Sunday when a team of doctors from Mississippi revealed that an infant in their care was born with HIV and cured two years later. Dr. Hannah Gay ...

Many experimental techniques are just a snapshot. With the computational microscope, you can actually see how things are moving,” he said. Supercomputer modeling of how building blocks of HIV-1 move ...

With the computational microscope, you can actually see how things are moving," he said. Supercomputer modeling of how building blocks of HIV-1 move in time made a difference in this study.

One key strategy for improving the effectiveness of smear microscopy is concerned with how to get the best sputum sample, and how to treat it to get it to reveal all its secrets. Some of these ...

In the case of Aids, HIV is on average around 120 nm across (120 billionths of a metre; around 60 times smaller than a red blood cell) and roughly spherical.

HIV-1 replicates in ninja-like ways. The virus slips through the membrane of vital white blood cells. Inside, HIV-1 copies its genes and scavenges parts to build a protective bubble for its copies.
