The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

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.

Our cells harbor a DNA detector termed cGAS to inform the immune system of viral and bacterial infections, cell death, as ...

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit ...

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to pose a major global health threat. The virus evades immune responses and antiviral therapies due to the persistence of covalently closed circular ...
