Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Now, 14 years later, in a study published in Nature, his team reported using a new computational approach to simulate the individual atoms of a virus that is packed with nucleic acids. 1 They used ...

Viruses are complex systems spanning orders of magnitude in size. The study of their behavior and structure, particularly using multidisciplinary frameworks, has revealed a number of universal ...

Rabies is notoriously difficult to treat once symptoms begin, and that challenge starts at the molecular level. Unlike many ...

"The E1E2 complex is very flimsy - it's like a bag of wet spaghetti, always changing its shape - and that's why it's been extremely challenging to image at high resolution," says co-first author ...

With a lower concentration of the virus of 1.5 mg/mL in the saline, the virus formed regularly spaced bands with filaments oriented at 90-degree angles. And with a slower pulling rate, the viruses ...
