In simple terms: a virus is a tiny package of genetic instructions with a delivery system. Outside a cell it is metabolically inert. Once inside a susceptible cell, it redirects the cell's machinery ...
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 ...
Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), like Ebola ebolavirus (EBOV), poses a significant threat to global health and security due to its high lethality. However, unlike EBOV, there are no approved vaccines or ...
During an infection, viruses interact with the host’s proteome, initiating processes that lead to viral genome replication, encapsidation, and the release of new progeny. These processes are ...

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 ...
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.
Viruses play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...
