The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

As viral vaccines are increasingly used to meet global health needs, the pharmaceutical industry is manufacturing larger ...

Helen Lazear, Ph.D., associate professor of microbiology and immunology, and Qi Zhang, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and biophysics, have discovered that a type of RNA in Zika virus ...

Electron cryo-microscopy and image reconstruction of PaV particles clearly show the dodecahedral RNA cage. Figure 4: The extended N-terminus of subunit A. In many T = 3 plant viruses (for example ...

Sala et al. report the first structural snapshot of the Nipah virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in the actively elongating state, uncovering key mechanisms of RNA synthesis by non-segmented ...

The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

have discovered that a type of RNA in Zika virus, a mosquito-borne virus, can essentially freeze itself in time in an effort to make more copies of itself and further its spread in the body. Their ...

At the cellular level, pieces of important genetic information, called small RNA, have the ability to introduce important so-called epigenetic changes. These alterations allow an individual to survive ...

A vast majority of the world’s population gets infected with cytomegaloviruses, for example ... free-floating RNA. Scientists are still blind to much of the human virome. Viruses are so small ...

Here, we review the expanding compendium of RNA-based therapies, their mechanisms of action and examples of application in the lung. The airways provide a convenient conduit for drug delivery to the ...

Among RNA therapeutics, one may find some of the most successful examples of personalised therapies. Prominent methods include RNA interference-based approaches to treat genetic metabolic diseases.

Amidst growing fears of human-to-human transmission, “bird flu” is no longer just a grocery store problem — it’s exposing instability in our new administration’s approach to public health. So, how can ...
