Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...
A computational model of the more than 26 million atoms in a DNA-packed viral capsid expands our understanding of virus structure and DNA dynamics, insights that could provide new research avenues and ...
Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...
Researchers discovered that polio and common cold viruses appear to rely on the same vulnerable mechanism to survive and spread. The newly identified weakness could help scientists better understand ...
The first atom-level model of a DNA-packed viral capsid reveals genome structure and possible new drug targets, University of Illinois researchers report. Pictured, from left: physics professor ...
