Huge, bacteria-eating viruses could be a game-changer for antibiotics that currently struggle to fend off deadly infections.

Cells take up solid particles using a process called endocytosis ... which are necessary for viral replication inside the cell. Some viruses also have a lipid envelope embedded with proteins.

The dengue virus attaches to the surface of a host cell and enters the cell by a process called endocytosis. Once deep inside the cell, the virus fuses with the endosomal membrane and is released ...

Fishburn added, “We believe that ANKLE2 is hijacked to help facilitate this process, and without it the pockets don’t form as well and the immune system can keep virus replication in check.” ...

Viral replication relies on the ability of viruses to exit host cells, a process known as viral egress, which is crucial for spreading infection to new ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health worker Maria Tereza Malheiros Sapienza's curiosity was aroused by her immunity to ...

“Zika and related viruses have evolved strategies to hide themselves in these replication pockets to avoid detection. We believe that ANKLE2 is hijacked to help facilitate this process, and without it ...

Viral reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA templates into complementary DNA) and genome mutations (e.g., diversity ...
