Caught in action: A research team has revealed how the molecular copying machine of the influenza virus, termed FluPol, interacts with the human copying machinery inside the infected cell to steal the ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

High-resolution images provide clarity into how viral proteins are separated by a protease, an important step during virus replication that is targeted by an approved COVID-19 drug. UNIVERSITY PARK, ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

Researchers have revealed the regulatory mechanism of a specific protein that plays a key role in balancing the immune response triggered by viral infections in mammal cells. These findings could help ...
