Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have decoded a critical survival strategy of the deadly Nipah virus (NiV), ...
To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...
Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...
Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex ...
Beyond both being viruses, HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 don't seem to have a lot in common. HIV-1 is a retrovirus that integrates ...
Though Gilead Sciences made waves last June with a landmark FDA approval for its twice-yearly HIV preventive Yeztugo (lenacapavir), the first-in-class drug had previously been used as a long-acting ...
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 ...
New findings reveal the presence of replication-competent Oropouche virus in semen, posing fresh questions about sexual transmission risks and public health safety. Research Letter: ...
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...
