During an infection, viruses interact with the host’s proteome, initiating processes that lead to viral genome replication, encapsidation, and the release of new progeny. These processes are ...

In simple terms: a virus is a tiny package of genetic instructions with a delivery system. Outside a cell it is metabolically inert. Once inside a susceptible cell, it redirects the cell's machinery ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells in ...

Efficient intercellular viral spread is critical for pathogenesis and virulence. In a study published in Science Bulletin, researchers from Peking University Health Science Center and Harbin ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

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 ...

Infection with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can result in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and HTLV-1 associated-myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. The Gag polyprotein – the major ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies 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 ...

Adam Lentz, a Ph.D. student in the DuBois lab, led a project to better understand the structure of human astroviruses. Human astroviruses are a leading viral cause of the stomach bug—think vomiting, ...

Cold sore virus takes over human DNA within just one hour, study finds - Study is first to prove that herpes virus reshapes ...

A team led by structural biologists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County has produced the most detailed picture yet of how enteroviruses, the viral family behind polio, viral myocarditis, ...
