There is an urgent need to come up with a vaccine that will curtail the spread of HIV-1. To be successful, the scientific community must work in concert to develop sound strategies based on a deeper understanding of the virus. Significant technological advances are also required to overcome the unique obstacles posed by HIV-1. Some of the challenges we

Virion encapsidated HIV-1 Vpr induces NFAT to prime non-activated T cells for productive infection [PDF]
The majority of T cells encountered by HIV-1 are non-activated and do not readily allow productive infection. HIV-1 Vpr is highly abundant in progeny virions, and induces signalling and HIV-1 LTR transcription.

A Neuronal and Neuroanatomical Correlate of HIV-1 Encephalopathy Relative to HIV-1 Encephalitis in HIV-1-infected Children [PDF]
Progressive central nervous system dysfunction analogous to the AIDS dementia complex (ADC) seen in adults (HIV-1-associated progressive encephalopathy or HIV-1 encephalopathy) commonly occurs in HIV-1-infected children. The cause appears to be directly or indirectly related to HIV-1, rather than to other opportunistic pathogens. The exact mechanism(s)

Nanobody‐Decorated Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhanced mRNA Delivery to Tumors In Vivo
This study presents a targeted mRNA‐LNP platform engineered with anti‐PSMA nanobodies for prostate cancer therapy. Using different in vivo models, the authors demonstrate selective uptake and mRNA delivery in PSMA+ cancer cells. However, while targeting is enhanced, mRNA delivery efficacy is limited by tissue penetration, tumor necrosis, and immune ...

Enhancement of HIV-1 proteinase activity by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) was found to increase the activity of HIV-1 proteinase in vitro and in eukaryotic cells. The effect of RT on proteinase activity was dose-dependent and independent of pH or salt concentration. The cleavage of sequences corresponding to all the naturally occurring cleavage sites that could be tested in vitro was enhanced.

Endocytic entry of HIV-1 [PDF]
Enveloped viruses enter target cells by membrane fusion or endocytosis. In the latter case, fusion of the viral envelope is induced by the acidic pH of the endocytic vesicle [1]. As with most other retroviruses, entry of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is thought to be exclusively by pH-independent membrane fusion after interaction of its ...
