Perhaps, both groups postulate, the current nucleus in eukaryotic cells arose from an endosymbiotic-like event in which a complex, enveloped DNA virus became a permanent resident of an emerging ...

The virus is composed of three layers—a capsid ... Viral assembly involves a multi-step process, starting in the cell's nucleus with assembly of capsids, packaging of the DNA to form ...

That's why scientists studying AIDS continue to search for weak spots in the virus's infection cycle. HIV inserts its genes into the host cell's nucleus in an unusual way. It doesn't import its ...

A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.

Hepatitis B virus infection remains one of the leading causes of liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

How did viruses evolve? Are they a streamlined form of something that existed long ago, or an ultimate culmination of smaller genetic elements joined together?

DNA vaccines contain the nucleotides encoding an antigenic portion of the virus such as the viral core ... up into cells and transcribed in the nucleus (1). The single stranded mRNA (2) is ...

The mRNA never goes into the nucleus of your cells where your DNA ... This will help your body's immune system recognize and fight the real virus if it ever shows up. It's like recognizing someone ...
