New HIV vaccines use a cluster of three viral envelop proteins and a dual immune stimulator mix to produce HIV neutralizing antibodies in humans.

Nathan Sherer explores how imaging live cells can aid in the understanding of HIV.

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

To build a quantitative tool to study virion maturation in vitro, we developed a novel single virion visualization technique based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). We inserted an ...

A virion is the individual unit, or particle, of a virus. The diameter between virions of different viruses, or other very small particles can vary.

In the current CG model of the SARS-CoV-2 virion, a particle-based phenomenological simulation was used to describe the lipid envelop, and membrane and envelop proteins were modeled as rigid bodies.

HIV-1 integrase-RNA interactions account for the key role of integrase in particle maturation.

When an enveloped virus like HIV replicates, it goes through a process called budding, co-opting components of infected cells, in order to help produce and release a new virion particle capable of ...

HIV virion model has been awarded first place at the 2010 Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge (SEVC), a competition organized by Science magazine and the National Science Foundation.

One minute of loud talking could release as many as 1,000 droplets, a National Institutes of Health study finds. Those droplets could contain coronavirus.
