Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

A schematic diagram showing the significant contribution of SCoV2-induced altered mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial EGFR translocation in sustaining viral propagation. First, SCOV2 RNA and ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built upon or applied. More may rest on the tools researchers use than previously ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...
