Study in pigs shows influenza induces faster antibody response, clears quickly, while PRCV causes prolonged infection, more ...

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 ...

Viral replication relies fundamentally on specialised DNA polymerases that orchestrate genome synthesis, fidelity control and interaction with viral and host factors. These enzymes exhibit remarkable ...

Researchers have used human brain organoids to demonstrate that Ebola virus can replicate in neural tissue for up to 120 days, offering new insights into viral persistence mechanisms in ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
