Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

The majority of children do not need a tonsillectomy.” But when done for the right reasons, tonsillectomy offers a meaningful ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Zika virus particles (red) shown in African green monkey kidney cells. The virus has has caused infectious outbreaks in people in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific since 2007.

At a glance: Researchers profile the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells show how changes in the viral polymerase — a protein involved in ...

In the new study, researchers homed in on a part of the viral machinery called the viral polymerase complex, a group of proteins the virus uses to copy its genetic material, spread, and infect cells.

These researchers use high-resolution imaging techniques to examine a virus’s molecular structure—and uncover where a virus is vulnerable to new therapies. In a new Cell study, scientists in LJI’s ...

Viruses can get into cells in several ways. Figuring out how to stop them from entering in the first place is a key to developing better vaccines and stopping future pandemics.

The virus that causes COVID-19 can alter the genomic structure of cells, which may explain the immunological symptoms that someone experiences from an infection, according to a new study from ...
