Researchers found that the Marburg virus uses a highly efficient entry protein to infect human cells. They also identified a ...

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

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers have found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's ...

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 ...

Semliki Forest virus was originally isolated from mosquitoes in the Semliki Forest, Uganda, hence the name. Upon systemic infection from mosquito bites, Semliki Forest virus causes mild blood viremia ...

Washington State University researchers have found a way to modulate a common virus protein to prevent viruses from entering cells where it can cause illness, a discovery that could someday lead to ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

Once the virus attaches to receptor clusters, it sends signals that make the cell wrap it in a clathrin coat and build an actin bulge, pulling the virus inward. The virus is then pinched off into a ...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and shingles, while herpes simplex virus (HSV) is responsible for oral and genital herpes. Although current treatments mainly focus on inhibiting viral ...

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's deadliest pathogens with an average 73% fatality rate, is unusually efficient ...
