As flu season approaches, it’s a good time to look back at the invention that made virology possible. Viruses weren’t well understood until somewhat recently, in part because they couldn’t be seen ...

Advanced cryo-electron microscopy technology allows researchers to visualize measles viruses at high resolution in their native state.Movie courtesy of Zunlong Ke and Elizabeth Wright Researchers have ...

A near-atomic-resolution structure shows how a recessed pocket assembled from four hantavirus glycoproteins recognizes ...

A research group has successfully determined, for the first time in the world, the capsid (outer shell) structure of Melbournevirus—a member of the giant virus family—at a resolution of 4.4 Å using ...

An example of the images of viruses obtainable with cryo-CLEM. These images show pseudotyped HIV-1 particles being taken into the cell, with viral membrane as light blue, mature core as yellow, and ...

We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

American and Japanese companies controlled the market for advanced microscopes. Now, China is offering ...

Cryo-electron microscopy of porcine neutralizing antibodies bound to foot-and-mouth disease virus reveals how mutations on ...

Back in 2008, the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, debuted a one-of-a-kind resource for understanding biology at the smallest scales — a state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscope. By ...
