Researchers have shed light on how a highly infectious virus, that has recently transferred from animals to people, is able to enter human cells. The University of Queensland’s Dr Ariel Isaacs and Dr ...

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.

As CCoV-HuPn-2018 has been recently isolated in a child's respiratory swab, researchers from the University Of Washington have been examining the structure of the 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 ...

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 ...

They are studying five viruses that represent the major subgroups of flaviviruses and alphaviruses, including West Nile, tick-borne encephalitis, dengue, chikungunya and Venezuelan equine encephalitis ...

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 ...
