Gilead in the 2000s took the research out of the lab by developing lenacapavir, which binds to key HIV proteins and interferes with several steps in the virus’s life cycle.

Viruses are remarkably diverse pathogens that can infect all life forms. Despite their differences in shape and size, they share a common goal: to hijack a host cell’s machinery and use it to ...

“The most potent HIV medications currently are those that stop the virus life cycle, but they still have some long-term side-effects, although much less than first-generation HIV medications.

The current work has identified a way to prevent Influenza B virus replication by blocking this necessary protein. Without the protein, virus amplification is blocked completely in cells. The ...

A new outbreak of Zika virus is quite possible, warn researchers, with a single mutation potentially enough to trigger an explosive spread. The disease caused a global medical emergency in 2016 ...

This suggests that α-LA inhibits only the early steps of the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle where the virus attaches to and gains entry into the host cell.
