A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on migrating cells. Viruses rely on efficient movement between cells to ...

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

A virus may be microscopic, but it contains thousands of nucleic acid bases strategically packaged into a protein shell. Knowing how the virus organizes these vast information stores in a compact ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — One of the first things the general of any army does before a battle is scout the terrain. Without seeing and understanding the battlefield, the issues of tactics, strategy and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

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 ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...
