Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

Plant RNA viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, affecting a vast array of crop species and leading to ...

“Using the virus as a tool to understand how chromatin can be altered can open up new research into understanding the complexities of our own genome.” Cosma says that the interplay between DNA’s ...

The stalk is an important part of the Ebola virus structure because it anchors Ebola's glycoprotein structure (which drives entry into a host cell) to Ebola's viral membrane.

Recent research at the University of Virginia could help provide an important clue as scientists scramble to find a way to treat the Ebola virus. One day after the first Ebola death in the United ...

This cross-section of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid offers a detailed view of the layers that make up its cylinder-like structure. [Saphire Lab, La Jolla Institute for Immunology] ...

In a new Cell study, scientists in LJI’s Center for Vaccine Innovation share the first detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may ...

Scientists share detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may accelerate the development of antivirals that target this viral structure ...

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal ...

Ebola virus polymerase is already known as a hard-working protein—all Ebola viral proteins have to be. Ebola virus is a highly efficient pathogen because it gets by with just seven genes (humans ...

At 3.1 angstroms, the 3D structure is the highest-resolution image of the Ebola virus surface protein ever assembled using asymmetric reconstruction.

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have uncovered the structure and function of the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire ebolavirus (Ebola virus). In a new study, the ...
