WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...

A research team led by Prof. Sun Chaomin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) has ...

New research supports a structure-based classification system for viruses which could help in the identification and treatment of emerging viruses. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute ...

Infection: Illustration of a phage virus injecting its DNA into a cell. (Courtesy: Alex Evilevitch and Ting Liu) A series of neutron scattering measurements has uncovered the structure of viral DNA in ...

A team of researchers has solved the structure of a molecule that controls the ability of viruses of the paramyxovirus family, including the viruses that cause measles, mumps, and many human ...

Sure, the year 1941 may best be remembered for being the year of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but it was also the year in which X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained for the tomato bushy stunt virus ...

In a recent study, Australian scientists used an original approach to resolve the 3D structure of flaviviruses with an unprecedented level of detail, identifying small molecules known as 'pocket ...

Scientists have found new evidence to support a classification system for viruses based on viral structure. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate ...

There is no aspect of biology that has captured the public interest as much as viruses have. From the avian flu to HIV to SARS, viruses are in the news almost every day, so a site dedicated to ...

Viruses can enter the body via a number of pathways and while scientists have known how to block the main one used by viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis C, Dengue Fever and West Nile virus for some time, ...
