They then imaged the virus in Penn State's Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) facility. Cryo-EM is a technique that allows researchers to determine the 3D structure of proteins and viruses at near ...

UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how ...

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 ...

Dengue virus structure Dengue virus structure The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins.

Scientists at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangzhou, China ...

We also determine how antibodies and antivirals interact and inhibit viruses, hoping to contribute to the discovery of new means to prevent disease. Research interests: assembly and structure ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

Powassan virus (POWV), a type of flavivirus closely related to the Zika and Dengue viruses, is an emerging tick-borne virus spreading across North America. In humans, it can cause symptoms like brain ...

The dengue virus is a tiny structure that can only replicate inside a host organism. The four closely related dengue viruses — DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4 — are found in the same regions of ...
