Recent molecular findings offer new details on how Nipah and Hendra viruses attack cells, and the immune responses that try to counter this onslaught. The results point toward multi-pronged tactics to ...

Alphaherpesviruses are a subfamily of herpesviruses that include the significant human pathogens herpes simplex viruses (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV). Glycoprotein K (gK), conserved in all ...

A team of US-based scientists has recently demonstrated the cryo-electron microscopic structure and antigenicity of the attachment glycoprotein of the Nipah virus. The study is published in the ...

Since the 1930s, scientists have explored a virus called LCMV (short for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus) to reveal the hidden workings of the immune system. The virus is carried by rodents, which ...

The Herpesviridae are a family of large, double-stranded DNA, enveloped viruses that cause a range of diseases. The nine human herpesviruses are herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, varicella zoster ...

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread around the world, researchers across the globe have been analyzing severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as well as similar ...

Scientists are pioneering the use of machine-learning artificial intelligence software to investigate viruses, revealing never-before-seen viral mechanisms which yield immediate fundamental insights ...

video: This spinning blue shape is the outer shell (glycoprotein) that shields lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) from immune system attack. And yet new research shows that an antibody (grey) ...
