The HIV/AIDS: Antiretroviral Drugs module is part of the Pathogens in Augmented Reality (PathogenAR) mobile app. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the most severe phase of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There is no effective cure for HIV. However, by taking a combination of antiretroviral drugs, people with HIV can now live long and healthy lives. Antiretroviral drugs target specific proteins which are required for infection.
The COVID-19: How SARS-CoV-2 binds to host cells module is part of the Pathogens in Augmented Reality (PathogenAR) mobile app. COVID-19 is a severe respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In order to infect host cells, SARS-CoV-2 has a surface protein which can specifically bind to another surface protein on host cells. Disrupting this interaction is key to several vaccines and therapeutics currently in development.
The NIAID TB Portals Program is a multi-national collaboration for tuberculosis (TB) data sharing and analysis to advance TB research.
TB Portals is a web-based, open-access repository of multi-domain TB data and tools for its analysis. It offers linked socioeconomic/geographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological, and genomic data from over 3,400 international TB patient cases.
Researchers can explore and analyze these data through any of the tools. TB Portals data are also available for download to support your own research.
