University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly ...

Researchers have used human brain organoids to demonstrate that Ebola virus can replicate in neural tissue for up to 120 days, offering new insights into viral persistence mechanisms in ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades ...

RNA viruses are constrained in genome size as a result of limitations from packaging and mutational burden 1. Due to these constraints it is quite common for viral genomes to encode multifunctional ...

A virus that can invade the brain and cause fatal neurological disease has long puzzled scientists because it replicates in a place most viruses avoid: the nucleus of infected cells. For Eric Gibbs, a ...

Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses use distinct strategies to infiltrate cells in the first place. They also ...

Influenza virus polymerase (FluPol) synthesizes the complementary RNA (cRNA) and the viral RNA (vRNA) using distinct de novo initiation strategies during genome replication, known as internal and ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure, bringing researchers closer to finding ways to flush out the dormant virus and ...

Researchers have found that the common cold virus reproduces more efficiently in the cooler temperatures found inside the nose than at core body temperature. In a sense this means that you are more ...
