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

Since these inhibitors act directly on the virus without affecting human cells, they may be safer than some existing ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Infections with the hepatitis E virus often go unnoticed because they cause no symptoms. However, in patients with a weakened ...
