A major bottleneck in curing HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is that the virus can hide in an inactive form within resting white blood cells, which play a crucial role in coordinating the immune ...

Abstract: RNA secondary (2D) structures are essential for cellular processes including protein translation; indeed some RNA viral pathogens use this strategy during replication cycle. Among ...

Each viral particle consists of a stretch of genetic instructions (written either in DNA or that other information-bearing molecule, RNA) packaged inside a protein capsule (known as a capsid).

We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or bacteria, marking them for ...

Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers ...
