Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...

Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.

Over 12 million people worldwide suffer from a chronic infection with the hepatitis D virus. This most severe viral liver disease is associated with a high risk of dying from liver cirrhosis and liver ...

Langone researchers discovered that oral herpes viruses loosen the centers of cells in order to replicate more effectively in a host cell. In their March study, researchers including first author Nora ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

A study in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines reports the first high-resolution structure of the major G-quadruplex in the TMPRSS2 promoter and shows how berberine binds and stabilizes it, ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a microscopic needle from DNA that can punch through a cell’s outer membrane and ...

More than 200,000 children succumb to viral gastroenteritis infections, or stomach flu, all over the world every year. 1 Human astroviruses are a common cause of such infections, leading to diarrhea, ...

Viral membrane proteins are the proteins of choice in vaccines but are difficult to produce quickly and reliably for use in vaccines, limiting rapid response during emerging outbreaks. Researchers ...
