Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have uncovered the structure and function of the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire ebolavirus (Ebola virus).

UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how ...

One of the immune system’s healthy functions is to attack viruses, and PNMA2’s virus-like structure makes it particularly prone to being targeted as well, the researchers found. In fact, in ...

Cryo-electron microscopy studies of Nipah virus and Hendra virus may provide blueprints for vaccine design and antibody treatments.

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H protein ...

It is with the help of this protein that the virus escapes human immunity and causes the monkeypox disease. Based on this discovery, they have prepared substances that can block the function of ...

The mimivirus is the largest virus known to scientists. In this week's issue of PLoS Biology, an international team of researchers have determined key structural features of the mimivirus ...
