Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical ...

Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology ... Glycoproteins typically bind to receptors on the membrane of a host cell. Viruses that do not bud from the host cell membrane ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a crucial ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and Heidelberg University have observed largely intact HIV-1 capsids as ...

Scientists have unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for AIDS, skillfully hijacks cellular machinery for its own survival. By dissecting the molecular interplay between the virus ...

The advance, described Jan. 20 in Cell, brings scientists a step closer to developing much-needed medicines.Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent or mitigate infection with the Nipah virus ...
