Most people infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be cured with antiviral therapy, but access to the treatment remains limited. Even diagnosis of hepatitis C, a disease that causes chronic ...
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 ...
LA JOLLA, CA—You are mostly but not entirely human. If we crunch the numbers, 8 percent of your genome actually comes from viruses that got stranded there. This viral detritus is a souvenir from our ...
The envelope protein from SARS-CoV-2 (E) is a single pass transmembrane protein which accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum golgi intermediate compartment in host cells, where it acts as a ...
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 ...
The first atom-level model of a DNA-packed viral capsid reveals genome structure and possible new drug targets, University of Illinois researchers report. Pictured, from left: physics professor ...
