Many more virus structures followed, but soon it became essential to supplement crystallography with electron microscopy to investigate viral assembly, viral infection of cells, and neutralization of ...

In the new study, researchers homed in on a part of the viral machinery called the viral polymerase complex, a group of proteins the virus uses to copy its genetic material, spread, and infect cells.

The advance, described Jan. 20 in Cell, brings scientists a step closer to developing much-needed medicines. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent or mitigate infection with the Nipah virus ...

Cell membranes make up the exterior of all cells and are a basic structure found in most living organisms. But they can also help parasites survive in the human body, play an important part in cancer ...

Inspecting the enemy Ebola virus relies on its nucleocapsid structure to protect and replicate its own genetic material inside host cells—and suppress host cellular immunity. Thanks to the ...

In the past, they focused on the Zika virus from the flavivirus group or the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the coronavirus group. Like other viruses, the monkeypox virus multiplies in a host cell.

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells ...

The virus infects liver cells, typically establishing a "silent" infection for decades until liver damage becomes severe enough to cause symptoms. It is a leading cause of chronic liver disease ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 can alter the genomic structure of cells, which may explain the immunological symptoms that someone experiences from an infection, according to a new study from ...

The bilayer is even part of the structure and function of many viruses such as influenza and SARS-Covid-2. Viral particles can use it as a protective layer which helps them to spread.
