Research from New York University, Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine provides new data about virology

Current study results from the report, 'Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope gp120-induced partial T-cell receptor signaling creates an F-actin-depleted zone in the virological synapse,' have been published. According to recent research from the United States, "Cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) occurs via a virological synapse (VS), a tight cell-cell junction formed between HIV-infected cells and target cells in which the HIV-1-infected cell polarizes and releases virions toward the noninfected target cell in a gp120-and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)-dependent process. The response of the target cell has been less studied."
