Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Scientists have simulated the transition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein structure from when it recognizes the host cell to when it gains entry, according to a study published today in eLife. The ...

A virus may be microscopic, but it contains thousands of nucleic acid bases strategically packaged into a protein shell. Knowing how the virus organizes these vast information stores in a compact ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...

A team of US-based scientists has recently demonstrated the cryo-electron microscopic structure and antigenicity of the attachment glycoprotein of the Nipah virus. The study is published in the ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Researchers have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.
