A new study, by Dr. Michael Martynowycz from the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI), and researchers at UCLA, and HHMI, reveals how viruses hijack cellular condensates to assemble and ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced microscopy method. The findings provide new insight into how the virus replicates ...

Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses use distinct strategies to infiltrate cells in the first place. They also ...

Scientists mapped how influenza A directly interacts with human proteins, revealing how it reshapes cellular structures and ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of giant virus, which replicates in a way we've never seen before. Stranger still, this entity could give us clues to the very origins of complex life. Viruses ...

A virus that can invade the brain and cause fatal neurological disease has long puzzled scientists because it replicates in a place most viruses avoid: the nucleus of infected cells. For Eric Gibbs, a ...
