Researchers found that Zika virus induces cells to create connections, called tunneling nanotubes, that may enable the virus to replicate and spread from mother to fetus. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In ...
The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...
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 ...
Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.
Bird flu viruses may pack a little taste of home to help them adapt to life in new hosts. Despite plenty of instances of bird flu viruses infecting people, scientists weren’t sure exactly how the ...
A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for ...
Researchers have uncovered a microscopic weapon that can literally tear viruses apart from the inside, a single protein that ...
A new study, by Dr. Michael Martynowycz from the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI), and researchers at UCLA, and HHMI, reveals how viruses hijack cellular condensates to assemble and ...
Lurking among them is a “giant” virus, a genetic behemoth that blurs the line between the living and the inanimate. When this ...
