Retrovirus-Cell Interactions provides an up-to-date review of the interactions between retroviruses and the cells they infect, offering a comprehensive understanding of how retroviruses hijack cellular factors to facilitate virus replication. Drugs targeting viral enzymes have been developed to treat HIV, and the next challenge is to inhibit virus-cell interactions as next generation treatment strategies. Organized according to the retrovirus replication cycle - entry through assembly - Retrovirus-Cell Interactions does not focus exclusively on HIV, but rather includes important findings in other retroviral systems, including animal retroviruses, retrotransposons, and endogenous retroelements to allow broad comparisons to be made that may uncover important commonalities and highlight differences. Retrovirus-Cell Interactions is a current compendium of information and includes salient insights into the current state of the field. Provides a valuable starting point for people who want to develop a detailed understanding of retroviral replicationIncludes future-thinking strategies such as next-generation treatment and anti-retroviral therapeuticsFeatures important commonalities and differences among retroviral systems INDICE: 1.
