As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory infections for which effective treatment options remain limited. Herein, we employed a computational structure-based ...

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world scrambled to understand the fast-moving virus, a team of Australian researchers set out to study how the virus would evolve long term. With ...

The three-dimensional (3D) chromatin structure of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) within host cells and the underlying mechanisms of chromatin interaction and gene regulation, particularly those involving ...

Until now, the structure and function of the Nipah virus polymerase remained poorly understood. Unraveling this piece of the viral apparatus is the critical first step toward developing ways to ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in ...

Dr. Schaffner points out that soap and water don’t technically kill norovirus—but they can help to get rid of the virus. “Soap and water actually lifts up the virus,” he says.
