Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...

Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...

Chikungunya is a disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, with sporadic cases reported in other locations. Its symptoms often resemble those of dengue and Zika, ...

This study introduces the Multidimensional Antiviral Antibody Database (MAAD), a comprehensive and standardized platform integrating sequence ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, made up of RNA molecules. But the challenge ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

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.

Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...
