Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.
Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.
In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers have found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's ...
The disease is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter our body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated this virus in minute detail.
Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...
A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...
Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.
If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be investigated and understood. As such, scientists have long been researching viruses ...
Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex ...
Viruses such as human norovirus can travel in vesicles, small fluid-filled sacs that are like shipping containers for cells.
