Purpose: The pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of etravirine and its clinical utility with respect to the available alternative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment options are reviewed.

Viral reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA templates into complementary DNA) and genome mutations (e.g., ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects more than a tenth of Americans aged 65 and older. The disease has proven difficult to develop new treatments for, and available ...

Bacteria defend themselves from viral infection using diverse immune systems, many of which sense and target foreign nucleic acids. Defense-associated reverse transcriptase (DRT) systems provide an ...
