Cold sore virus takes over human DNA within just one hour, study finds - Study is first to prove that herpes virus reshapes ...

University of Malaga research has shown that a laboratory-based antiviral approach which combines structure-guided peptides ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the replication of coronaviruses: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ion channels are transmembrane protein complexes that control ion transport across the membranes and play a pivotal role for maintaining cellular homeostasis as well as in virus–host interactions. As ...

Can newly identified antiviral compounds help stop some of the most dangerous mosquito-borne viruses that attack the brain? A ...

A study headed by researchers at NYU Langone Health has found that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to help copy itself ...

DNA replication in viral systems encompasses a remarkable variety of strategies that exploit or mimic cellular machinery. Small DNA viruses often encode a multifunctional helicase–primase complex that ...

Viruses play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, ...
