Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The virus can cause fatal encephalitis in humans. Disease outbreaks and regional ...

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 ...

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques forming in the brain, visualization is the first step toward finding ...

Prevention remains critical; but once symptoms appear, treatment options are extremely limited. Because rabies hides behind a complex molecular shield, it is nearly impossible to fight. “For more than ...

Lenacapavir (LEN) is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS and was first approved for individuals with ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously pack their genetic material - a breakthrough that could help researchers ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

For decades, researchers have struggled to capture how ribonucleic acid molecules twist, fold, and bind to proteins in three dimensions. These shapes decide whether a virus like SARS-CoV-2 can ...
