Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

In a recent article posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers explored the driving factors of the vaccinia virus assembly across infected cells. Study: Cryo-ET of infected cells reveals that ...

Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses. Said to have existed since living cells first appeared, these microscopic ...

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 researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

A new study shows that the body’s early immune response, not the virus itself, often determines how severe a rhinovirus cold ...
