Apertura Gene Therapy, a biotechnology company developing next-generation AAV capsids for delivering genetic medicines, today ...

In a mature, infectious HIV-1 virion, the viral genome is housed within a conical capsid core made up of the viral capsid (CA) protein. During infection, the CA protein interacts with several cellular ...

Though treatments are available, there is no cure or vaccine from HIV, which impacts about 38 million people worldwide. It's difficult to target the RNA genome of the HIV virus in part because it ...

The interactions between a virus capsid and its cargo are essential for viral infection as well as in the design of synthetic virus-like particles. Now a combination of analytical techniques has ...

For most of his career at Gilead Sciences, medicinal chemist Winston Tse has lived and breathed one thing. While his peers at other companies hopped from project to project, Tse has spent the past ...

The efficacy of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy for the inner ear is fundamentally constrained by the natural tropism of viral ...

The phenomenon of adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid-promoter interaction recently seen in the rat central nervous system has now been shown to occur in the non-human primate brain. This interaction ...

It took two years on a supercomputer to simulate 1.2 microseconds in the life of the HIV capsid, a protein cage that shuttles the HIV virus to the nucleus of a human cell. The 64-million-atom ...

Assembly and budding of a virus from a membrane microdomain. Viruses have an outer protein shell called a capsid which surrounds the viral nucleic acid. Enveloped viruses, such as HIV, have an ...

With up to 2.4 million U.S. cases and over 250 million chronic cases globally, hepatitis B infection persists despite the availability of a vaccine. Vaccines work by immunizing the body against a ...

We performed the first ever simulations of simultaneous capsid assembly and encapsulation of a polymer, we characterized the role of the polymer in this cooperative assembly process and obtained ...
