In a twist on the question, 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?', scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: 'Which comes first, assembly of the viral ...

High-resolution images provide clarity into how viral proteins are separated by a protease, an important step during virus replication that is targeted by an approved COVID-19 drug. UNIVERSITY PARK, ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

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 ...

Viruses increase cellular metabolism to reproduce themselves, and some existing anti-obesity drugs can block these metabolic changes and nearly halt viral reproduction in infected cells, according to ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
