The influenza D virus that researchers say has been flying under the radar since its detection in animals in 2011 can vigorously make copies of itself in human cells and lung tissue samples, a new ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how ...

Chinese scientists uncover how the Nipah virus hijacks a host protein (NSUN2) to boost its replication through a dual mechanism, simultaneously stabilizing viral RNA and modifying a key viral protein, ...

The global pandemic may be over, but SARS-CoV-2 continues to infect people around the world. Indeed, the United States has recorded roughly 750 deaths from COVID-19 over the past month. Now, an siRNA ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

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 ...

Lab-grown miniature airways from wildlife reveal which species influenza can infect and how the virus adapts to new hosts.

More than 250 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B (HBV), yet there is still no accessible animal model for studying the disease or testing novel therapies. Researchers have now ...
