A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the replication of coronaviruses: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated ...

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 ...

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 ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

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 ...
