Researchers have discovered a new method to boost the body's natural ability to fight respiratory viruses, including ...

Viral replication relies fundamentally on specialised DNA polymerases that orchestrate genome synthesis, fidelity control and interaction with viral and host factors. These enzymes exhibit remarkable ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

A team led by structural biologists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County has produced the most detailed picture ...

Can plant compounds help fight Ebola? Learn how natural molecules are showing promise in early antiviral research studies.

Scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, have uncovered a crucial trick used by enteroviruses—the group behind diseases like polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and even the common ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...

Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like ...

Hantaviruses have a genome made of RNA, but there is no evidence that the antiparasitic drug ivermectin would work on a ...

Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed a key defence system in plants to ...

DNA replication in viral systems encompasses a remarkable variety of strategies that exploit or mimic cellular machinery. Small DNA viruses often encode a multifunctional helicase–primase complex that ...
