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 ...

The discovery could serve as a starting point for antiviral strategies. A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the ...

During viral reproduction, the influenza polymerase (top left, in blue) scans along the ribonucleoprotein helix to produce messenger RNA. Credit: Science Like a camera-shy teenager, influenza’s ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have decoded a critical survival strategy of the deadly Nipah virus (NiV), ...

Researchers at The Wistar Institute have identified a previously unknown mechanism by which viruses can reprogram mitochondrial structure to silence immune responses and ensure successful viral ...

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 ...

Viruses insert “transposable elements” into the genetic material of host cells to replicate. While cells’ defense mechanisms have learned to silence most of these viral insertions, a few “jumping ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
