Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute and the University of Chicago have uncovered a mechanism that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses to protect itself inside the body as ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

This study sheds light on how two well-known proteins work together to trigger an immune signaling cascade in the presence of viral RNA. Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The influenza virus continues to pose a threat to our health. It triggers seasonal ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously pack their genetic material - a breakthrough that could help researchers ...

The efficiency of HIV-1 replication hinges on the dynamic interplay between viral RNA and an array of viral and host proteins. At the core of this process is the dual role of the unspliced viral RNA, ...
