Bacteria and the viruses that infect them are perpetually at war. Their deadly clashes push both kinds of microbes to evolve ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.

The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Researchers have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.

The lack of high-resolution structures of the hantavirus glycoprotein tetramer and its lattice organization has limited mechanistic insights into viral assembly and entry. The authors leveraged a ...

Marburg is naturally found in Egyptian rousette bats and spreads through bodily fluids, making outbreaks hard to control.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have pulled off their clearest look yet at the Andes hantavirus, mapping the virus’s surface entry complex at near-atomic detail. That intricate ...
