Description
The cumulative death toll from AIDS has reached 16.3 million individuals, and more than 33 million persons are currently living with HIV-1.
Although it is one of the most-widely studied viruses, many mysteries remain about this pathogen. In this comprehensive two-volume set,
HIV-1: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis, leading investigators in HIV research present a timely picture of the molecular
mechanisms which guide HIV-1 expression and replication and provide the most current clinical strategies for combating this virus. Twenty-six
teams of experts unravel structure-function interactions of HIV-1 with host cells and the resulting pathological consequences, review
strategies fo treatment, and describe ongoing progress in developing animal models and prophylactic vaccines.
The two volumes, covering
viral mechanisms and clinical applications, respectively, are written by an international collection of AIDS expers from North America,
Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Included in series
Advances in Pharmacology
Audience:
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior researchers in virology and pharmacology, as well as clinicians and clinical fellows in infectious diseases.
