Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.

The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a ...

This is the highest resolution molecular structure ever constructed of a key protein complex on the surface of the Andes ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of biology.

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Viruses need us. In order to multiply, viruses have to invade a host cell and copy their genetic information. To do so, viruses encode their own replication machinery or components that subvert the ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

A dual-action HIV antibody–drug conjugate forces Env to open, then blocks it, boosting virus neutralization up to tenfold in the lab.
