The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it ...

and infect cells. The work provides a detailed three-dimensional picture of the virus's polymerase and its key features. Understanding the structure and behavior of this critical piece of the viral ...

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

A new study finds that the Sudan virus, a deadly Ebola relative, binds to human NPC1 receptors with nine times greater ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

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 ...

How have viruses hijacked the cell's pathways to cause infections ... A small dimeric protein called caveolin forms the shape and structure of the caveolae. Caveolin proteins insert in the ...

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 ...
