A drug that is already in clinical trials against hepatitis C virus can also prevent hepatitis E virus from replicating.

Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These cells defend our bodies from the early stages of viral infection by ...

Around 70,000 people die each year from infections with the hepatitis E virus. There is currently neither a vaccine nor a ...

Baculoviruses are a diverse group of insect viruses that have long served as both biological control agents in agriculture and versatile tools in biotechnology. Their life cycle is marked by two ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

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 ...

Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead of spreading one virus at a time, infected cells bundle viral material into ...

Amenis Bioscience Inc. has identified anthranilic acid derivatives acting as peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1) and viral replication inhibitors reported to be useful for ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of ...
