Alphaherpesviruses hijack host epigenetic regulation by promoting HDAC1/2 nuclear export and degradation to activate the DNA damage response, revealing new antiviral therapeutic targets.
An international research team has determined the first high-resolution structures of the herpes simplex virus origin-binding protein (OBP), a critical component of viral DNA replication that has ...
Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...
Viruses are microscopic pathogens composed of genetic material housed within a protective protein shell. While they carry the blueprint required for producing additional viral proteins, they lack the ...
As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.
A new study reveals how C210, a curcumin derivative, selectively reactivates Epstein–Barr virus to kill cancer cells without infectious risks, paving the way for safer, targeted cancer therapies.
