Zika, a mosquito-borne virus first identified in 1947 in a Rhesus macaque monkey, continues to perplex scientists in many ways nearly 80 years later. While many people with a Zika virus infection ...

Now, Gilead has conducted an analysis of a phenomenon that can undermine all infectious disease therapies, including ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...

During the complex processes of virus replication and transmission, host cells play a crucial role, especially through the formation of biomolecular condensates (BMCs). These membraneless subcellular ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Investigators from the laboratory of Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, have discovered how human cytomegalovirus rewires intracellular mechanisms to control the movement of 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 ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion. Researchers discovered that it actively reshapes the 3D structure of the human ...

Research relies on replication: Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built upon or applied. More may rest on the tools ...
