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 research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

As reported by UT Austin News, a team led by Jason McLellan used structural biology to both capture a high-resolution model of the Andes hantavirus entry machinery and turn that insight into a vaccine ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies 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 ...

A recent experimental treatment may offer a new method to prevent HIV infection: by combining two antiviral tactics into a single antibody. In laboratory studies, the new molecule forced the virus to ...

Virginia Tech researchers are advancing a new generation of vaccines designed to block opioids from reaching the brain and ...

You probably don't want to think about the next pandemic. I don't. But maybe we can take some comfort in knowing scientists are preparing for it — and one such group of researchers is taking a close ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Content is currently more readily available to us than at any other point in the history of mass media. But it requires ...

Unlike therapies used later in cancer treatment, the HPV vaccine targets the virus at its earliest stage, using virus-like particles that look like HPV's outer shell but carry no viral DNA.

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a ...
