A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. Additionally, by integrating cryo-light microscopy ...

Filoviruses—such as Ebola and Marburg viruses—can cause hemorrhagic fevers with up to 90% lethality. Not only that, but there are very few tools (vaccines or drugs) to combat them. Now, scientists at ...

Lassa virus (LASV) is the pathogen that causes Lassa hemorrhagic fever, a disease endemic to West Africa, which causes approximately 5,000 deaths each year. At the CSSB Centre for Structural Systems ...

A new Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered a surprising molecular link between HIV-1 and a protein fragment associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to findings published in the Proceedings ...

A team of scientists has uncovered a key strategy used by coronaviruses to turn human cells into virus-production factories. Published in a leading scientific journal, the research reveals that during ...

Robert Stahelin, the Retter Professor of Pharmacy and professor of medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology, discussed “Lipid-dependent Assembly and Budding of Emerging Viral Pathogens” at the ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) relies on a finely tuned interplay between its genomic RNA and the viral structural polyprotein Gag to ensure production of infectious particles. Upon ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...
