Lassa virus, a severe and potentially fatal infection prevalent in West Africa, has long posed a significant health threat. With no widely approved treatments or vaccines available, scientists at ...

Until now, the structure and function of the Nipah virus polymerase remained poorly understood, researchers said, cautioning that further research would be needed to fully understand how the ...

We also determine how antibodies and antivirals interact and inhibit viruses, hoping to contribute to the discovery of new means to prevent disease. Research interests: assembly and structure ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in ...

Structure of tick-borne virus revealed at atomic resolution for the first time by Pennsylvania State University edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...
