HIV vaccines suffer setbacks but new approaches could turn the tide

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since HIV integrates with the DNA, eliminating the virus from the body is very difficult, explains David Montefiori, PhD, director of the Laboratory for AIDS Vaccine Research and Development at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. But others in the research space are now testing out other concepts that have been largely theoretical.

UNC team discovers interactions vital for hepatitis A virus replication

Pharmaceutical Technology

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication needs particular interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, a group of enzymes. In addition, the scientists later found that the HAV needs TENT4A/B for its replication.
