They compared their calculations with experimental data from normal and mutated viruses, examining how these proteins accumulate and trigger cell bursting. Their analysis revealed that precise timing ...
New research from scientists at Rice University helps explain how viruses time cell lysis and the release of new viruses from their bacterial hosts to ensure survival. Details are provided in a paper ...
Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...

Giant virus in Japanese pond may rewrite origin of complex life
In a quiet freshwater pond in Ibaraki Prefecture near Tokyo, researchers have pulled from the water a microscopic giant that ...
Viruses have no metabolism of their own and must therefore infect host cells in order to replicate. Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent ...
Ivan Erill receives funding from the US National Science Foundation After more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, you might picture a virus as a nasty spiked ball – a mindless killer that gets ...
Antiviral therapies are notoriously difficult to develop, as viruses can quickly mutate to become resistant to drugs. But what if a new generation of antivirals ignores the fast-mutating proteins on ...
New research suggests that viruses are using information from their environment to 'decide' when to sit tight inside their hosts and when to multiply and burst out, killing the host cell. Right now, ...
A new cancer immunotherapy approach devised by Mayo Clinic researchers combines chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy with a cancer-killing virus. In animal models, the dual therapy, in the ...
