Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...
A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...
The satellite virus MiniFlayer (purple) infects cells by attaching itself to the neck of its helper virus, MindFlayer (gray). Tagide deCarvalho, CC BY-SA Have you ever wondered whether the virus that ...
A drug once designed for dengue virus, then quietly abandoned by industry, is suddenly back in the spotlight, and it may be ...
Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate and spread, according to a recent study published in the journal PLOS ...
Have you ever wondered whether the virus that gave you a nasty cold can catch one itself? It may comfort you to know that, yes, viruses can actually get sick. Even better, as karmic justice would have ...
UMBC scientists uncovered how enteroviruses initiate replication by assembling a conserved RNA–protein complex inside host cells. The team showed how viral and host proteins bind an RNA cloverleaf to ...
New research from scientists at Rice University helps explain how viruses time cell lysis and the release of new viruses from their bacterial hosts to ensure survival. Details are provided in a paper ...
As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...
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 ...
