Uganda has confirmed an outbreak of Sudan virus disease, with the first case linked to a 32-year-old nurse in Kampala.

After virus adsorption, cells were maintained in DMEM containing 8 μg/mL trypsin (Gibco, USA) and antibiotics. After 2 h, the cells were maintained in DMEM containing 8 μg/mL trypsin at 37°C in 5% CO ...

Each virus generation was assayed for viral proliferation and cytopathic effects. After stable passages, the viruses were purified, and their morphology was identified using a transmission electron ...

Henipaviruses can infect many animals, including bats, horses, monkeys, dogs, cats and even rodents. This means they are more ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

The work provides a detailed three-dimensional picture of the virus’s polymerase and its key features. Understanding the structure and behavior of this critical piece of the viral machinery ...

Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

Biological scientists have uncovered how the dengue virus uses its envelope protein to capture human plasmin from a blood meal to enhance the permeability of the mosquito midgut for infection.

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist. To address this critical ...

The HUMANOID Center at UC San Diego is pioneering organoid research aimed at improving the reliability and reproducibility of ...

In this useful study, the authors tested a novel approach to eradicate the HIV reservoir by constructing a herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based therapeutic vaccine designed to reactivate HIV from latently ...
