Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have uncovered the structure and function of the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire ebolavirus (Ebola virus). Inmazeb (REGN-EB3), developed by ...

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.

Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...

(a) Conventional chimeric VLP vaccine requires first producing fusion viral proteins conjugated with self-assembling modules by challengeable gene design and expression, and then carrying out ...

Researchers used computational modeling to reveal finer details surrounding the outer shell of the COVID-19 virus. The work expands the scientific community's understanding of SARS-COV-2, and could ...

A computational model of the more than 26 million atoms in a DNA-packed viral capsid expands our understanding of virus structure and DNA dynamics, insights that could provide new research avenues and ...

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H protein ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds - ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, and ticks are popping up ...

Artificial intelligence has just exposed a structural flaw in the mpox virus that scientists had not fully appreciated, and ...

COVID-19 does not just affect the respiratory system, but also significantly alters the brain in people who have fully ...

Research finds brain changes in long COVID patients and recovered people compared to never-infected people. What does this ...
