Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.

The virus is the human polyomavirus 2, commonly called either the JC virus or John Cunningham virus, named after the poor ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Scientists have found a way to make one of the most aggressive brain tumors vulnerable to the immune system. A single injection of a modified virus can invade glioblastoma, kill cancer cells, and ...

For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and ...

EM images reveal how Marburg virus slips into human cells, exposing glycoprotein “cap” tricks and weak spots that could guide future antivirals, antibodies and vaccines.

A giant virus discovered in Japan is adding fuel to the provocative idea that viruses helped create complex life. Named ushikuvirus, it infects amoebae and shows unique traits that connect different ...

Scientists at Gladstone Institutes, in collaboration with a team at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center, have developed a novel tool—named HIV-seq—for profiling the features of rare ...
