This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the sixth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead of spreading one virus at a time, infected cells bundle viral material into ...

Scientists discovered that hepatitis A viral replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, and they used a ...

For the first time, scientists have captured how new antiviral drugs halt the herpes virus in real time as it tries to ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

MADISON - A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses - including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

Researchers have revealed the regulatory mechanism of a specific protein that plays a key role in balancing the immune response triggered by viral infections in mammal cells. These findings could help ...

Viruses are finely tuned to their hosts, but mutations can and have produced strains that can jump from animals into humans. Sara Sawyer, a virologist at the BioFrontiers Institute of the University ...
