CONFERENCE ON AIDS PATHOGENESIS

描述：（改编自应用程序）艾滋病已经抓住了 近20年来，生物医学界一直关注。它 仍然是世界范围内的主要健康问题，特别是在 发展中国家在过去的几年里， 在临床前沿和我们对 HIV发病机制。随着联合治疗的出现， 抗病毒药物，艾滋病毒感染不再是死刑。然而，在这方面， 最近的数据表明，一旦病毒被感染， 一个人被感染，从而使治疗成为终身需要。那里 一旦目前的3或4个国家没有其他选择， 药物治疗失败。对艾滋病毒复制机制的新见解 和发病机制的研究应该有助于确定新的治疗方法 目标和治疗方案。这在最近的 发现趋化因子受体在病毒进入中的作用， 为学术界和工业界的科学家提供了动力， 抑制病毒的新策略。这次会议的目的是 为科学家提供一个论坛，以审查关于 HIV基因结构和功能，病毒-宿主相互作用，致病性 机制和与HIV感染治疗相关的问题。希望 信息交流、讨论和交流将 激发新的想法，合作和方法来对抗这种病毒 疾病

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the application) AIDS has captured the attention of the biomedical community for almost two decades. It continues to be a major health problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. In the last few years, there has been exciting progress both at the clinical front and in our basic understanding of HIV pathogenesis. With the advent of combination therapy and potent antiviral drugs, HIV infection is no longer a death sentence. However, recent data suggest that virus eradication is probably impossible once a person is infected, thus making therapy a lifelong requirement. There is already panic over the lack of alternatives once the current 3 or 4 drug regimens fail. New insights into the mechanisms of HIV replication and pathogenesis should lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets and treatment options. This is well illustrated in the recent discovery of the role of chemokine receptors in virus entry, which has provided stimulus to both academic and industrial scientists to pursue new strategies for virus inhibition. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum for scientists to review state-of-the-art knowledge on HIV gene structure and function, virus-host interactions, pathogenic mechanisms, and issues related to therapy for HIV infection. It is hoped that the information exchange, discussion and cross fertilization will spark new ideas, collaborations and approaches to battle this viral disease.
