To conceptualize this transformation, let's examine the replication of retroviruses, the family of viruses to which HIV belongs. This process very closely mirrors the movement of an important ...

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

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the ...

Technical advances have made it possible to produce reassortant strains between wild-type viruses (for their antigenic properties) and culture-adapted strains (for their replication properties).

Bringing all the components to make viruses in one place makes replication more efficient and also helps hide the virus from the immune system. “Our current model is that ANKLE2 is really important, ...

Shah is senior author of the team’s published paper in mBio, titled “Microcephaly protein ANKLE2 promotes Zika virus replication.” In the paper, the team concluded that in combination with ...

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 ...
