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 ...

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 ...

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

A schematic diagram showing the significant contribution of SCoV2-induced altered mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial EGFR translocation in sustaining viral propagation. First, SCOV2 RNA and ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo. Using cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force ...

The avian influenza virus needs to mutate to cross the species barrier and to infect and replicate within mammalian cells. Scientists have now deciphered the structure of the avian influenza virus's ...

Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These ...

Prevention remains critical; but once symptoms appear, treatment options are extremely limited. Because rabies hides behind a complex molecular shield, it is nearly impossible to fight. “For more than ...
