Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its inner core into the host cell's nuclear membrane. The findings, by a ...

The Human Virome Program will analyze samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and ...

The virus is related to the pathogen that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome and capitalizes on the same ‘entry receptor ...

CoV-2, the virus was identified by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been at the centre of the theory ...

Dennis D'Amico, associate professor of animal science, has demonstrated that bacteriophages can effectively reduce the amount ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered that the herpes virus protein UL12.5 hijacks the body’s own immune pathways to trigger ...

Amidst growing fears of human-to-human transmission, “bird flu” is no longer just a grocery store problem — it’s exposing ...

UConn researchers have identified a small molecule that disrupts PRRSV, a virus costing the swine industry billions annually. The molecule blocks the NendoU protein, reducing viral replication ...

Worldwide, hepatitis B is thought to be the second deadliest infection; about 5% of the global population are infection and ...

This study provides evidence that single-cell multi-omics profiling can reveal key regulators of HIV-1 persistence and early immune dysregulation, particularly implicating KLF2 and Th17 cells as major ...
