The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Nahas et al. investigated the roles of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) structural proteins using correlative cryo-light microscopy and soft X-ray tomography. The authors generated nine viral variants ...

To date, the characterisation of HSV-1 mutants in the study of virus assembly has been limited to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) without the addition of correlative light microscopy to ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication.

Some mobile genetic elements hijack bacteriophage viruses. These viruses consist of a shell containing DNA plus a tail that binds to specific bacteria and injects the DNA into it. So, if an ...

Influenza viruses cause tens of millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the United States each year. There are two players every flu season: influenza Type A and Type B. Influenza A tends ...

In a recent review published in the journal Virology, researchers examined the increasing diversity of human viruses, their epidemiological significance, and preventive strategies to mitigate ...
