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 ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced microscopy method. The findings provide new insight into how the virus replicates ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...

Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses use distinct strategies to infiltrate cells in the first place. They also ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly ...

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 replicate ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of giant virus, which replicates in a way we've never seen before. Stranger still, this entity could give us clues to the very origins of complex life. Viruses ...

A virus that can invade the brain and cause fatal neurological disease has long puzzled scientists because it replicates in a place most viruses avoid: the nucleus of infected cells. For Eric Gibbs, a ...

The world’s largest bat organoid platform, which promises improvement in the study of zoonotic viruses, has been newly developed by scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. By ...

Lenacapavir (LEN) is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS and was first approved for individuals with drug-resistant infections in 2022. While there is still no vaccine for the ...
