Researchers at The Wistar Institute have identified a previously unknown mechanism by which viruses can reprogram mitochondrial structure to silence immune responses and ensure successful viral ...

The findings, published in Nature Microbiology, reveal how the virus-encoded protein vBcl-2 can hijack a host enzyme called NM23-H2 to dismantle mitochondrial immune signaling, highlighting a new ...

This previously unrecognized response could help explain how influenza A and other viruses persist in populations, evade immune responses ... time influenza A virus structure during formation.

It is hard to successfully fight a virus without the antibodies and other virus-specific cells created by the adaptive immune system, Whiteley explains, but the generalized response of the innate ...

Spillover events—transmission of a virus from a reservoir population (eg, bats) to a new host population (eg, humans)—have been linked to environmental changes such as food shortages, which may impact ...
