In the world of viral research, uncovering a virus’s weaknesses is often a painstaking process that requires years of ...

The COVID pandemic illustrated how urgently we need antiviral medications capable of treating coronavirus infections. To aid ...

A cold sore might seem like a minor nuisance. But behind that tingling lip is one of the world’s most widespread and cunning ...

Salk Institute. (2016, February 17). Protein structure illuminates how viruses take over cells. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2016 / 02 / 160217140313.htm ...

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

The structure of the dengue virus also suggests it employs a cell entry pathway similar to another group of viruses known as togaviruses, Kuhn says. The Purdue team is now pursuing experiments to ...

Viruses carrying these mutations were no longer able to spread once they infected a cell. This was a bit of a surprise, given that they should still be able to latch on to the second motor protein.

Some viruses can hide in our bodies for decades and make 'fake' human proteins that trick our immune cells into believing nothing is wrong. Now researchers have determined the basic structure of ...

This might even be how the cells of more complex organisms evolved in the first place. The study shows that when a virus hijacks a bacterial cell, it quickly destroys the cell’s normal structure, ...

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 ...

In a new Cell study, scientists in LJI’s Center for Vaccine Innovation share the first detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may ...

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects the liver and can cause acute or chronic illness. The virus’s life cycle involves entering liver cells and producing new virus cells to trigger infections in ...
