Genome-wide study finds link between CHD1L gene and HIV control

"We searched for human genetic variation that associates with spontaneous control of HIV and identified a novel region in the genome that is only variable in populations of African ancestries," says Professor Jacques Fellay at EPFL's School of Life Sciences.

Genetic variant may explain why some people of African ancestry have lower HIV viral loads

An international team of researchers has found a genetic variant that may explain why some people of African ancestry have naturally lower viral loads of HIV, reducing their risk of transmitting the virus and slowing progress of their own illness.

Novel molecules inspired by the immune system inactivate several viruses

Antiviral therapies are notoriously difficult to develop, as viruses can quickly mutate to become resistant to drugs. But what if a new generation of antivirals ignores the fast-mutating proteins on the surface of viruses and instead disrupts their protective layers?

Peptoid antiviral therapy inactivates three viruses in lab tests

Just as bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance, viruses can also evade drug treatments. Developing therapies against these microbes is difficult because viruses often mutate or hide themselves within cells.
