Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or ...

The virus binds to that cell, slips inside and uses the cell's machinery to help make copies of itself. ... The T cells help B cells turn on to produce antibodies that could bind to the actual virus.

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 may latch more easily onto the airway cells of people with type A blood compared with those with type B or O blood, a new study suggests.

Adeno-associated virus type 2 infection activates caspase dependent and independent apoptosis in multiple breast cancer lines but not in normal mammary epithelial cells. Molecular Cancer , 2011 ...

It has been suggested, however, that the actual amino-acid sequence of the membrane-spanning domain is not critical for the activity of viral fusion proteins. We have examined the function of Moloney ...

As a professor of visual communications, I can’t help but notice all the images of COVID-19 that have been circulating. You’ve probably seen some version of it: a ...

After a virus invades a cell, it hijacks its machinery to make copies of itself. White blood cells known as cytotoxic T cells, a.k.a. killer T cells, can identify the wayward cell and make it self ...

When measuring virus production, monkey kidney cells (specifically CV-1 and LLC-MK2 cells) proved to be the most productive virus factories, generating the highest amounts of virus.

Health COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests The early-stage research focused only on animal models, but scientists say it ‘offers hope’ ...
