University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), researchers at The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, have revealed the first high-resolution renderings of the measles virus's (MeV) ...

The study uncovered how HIV “hides,” an understanding that could help future treatments find and eradicate it.

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Ahmedabad: Taking a cue from ancient wisdom – an enemy's enemy is a friend — an associate research scientist from Yale ...

The unsuspecting P2 is lucky to replicate a few times, if at all. In this case, biologists refer to P2 as a "helper" virus, because the satellite P4 needs P2's genetic material to replicate and ...

"We know that Zika virus and related viruses rely on these very stable RNA structures to replicate," said Lazear. "By adjusting the stability of this RNA in the lab, we showed that we can shorten ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...

Researchers were able to test how viruses replicate differently across various bat species and organs using the new organoid panel.

The study is published in the journal PLOS Pathogens. With only seven genes, the BK polyomavirus must use the host cell’s DNA replication machinery to produce new viruses. Although the virus was ...
