Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed CeSPIACE, a peptide inhibitor that blocks SARS-CoV-2 from ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...

Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a discovery that brings medical experts one step closer to a cure ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, meaning that with the right sequences ... in theory, cordon the virus off from a potential host cell and prevent infection, though the team didn’t test ...

Further investigation by the Zhang and Lazear labs revealed that this frozen, stable RNA structure ... degraded by the host cell, altogether enhancing the ability of the virus to make more copies ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only ...

To find the answer, they developed a way to observe and measure real-time influenza A virus structure during formation ... The study assessed 16 different virus-cell combinations that resulted ...

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday spread ...

But how these bacteria-killing viruses interact with human cells has remained mysterious. Past research has shown that human cells can slurp up bacteria-killing viruses when a cell ingests a large ...
