Study in pigs shows influenza induces faster antibody response, clears quickly, while PRCV causes prolonged infection, more ...

Can newly identified antiviral compounds help stop some of the most dangerous mosquito-borne viruses that attack the brain? A ...

Mosquitoes carry some of the world's deadliest viruses, biting victim after victim for their entire lives without ever ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the replication of coronaviruses: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated ...

Researchers have used human brain organoids to demonstrate that Ebola virus can replicate in neural tissue for up to 120 days, offering new insights into viral persistence mechanisms in ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Ion channels are transmembrane protein complexes that control ion transport across the membranes and play a pivotal role for maintaining cellular homeostasis as well as in virus–host interactions. As ...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex ...

Ebola virus can remain in nervous system of patients and relapse years later, study warns - Immune system may not be able to ...

DNA replication in viral systems encompasses a remarkable variety of strategies that exploit or mimic cellular machinery. Small DNA viruses often encode a multifunctional helicase–primase complex that ...
