New model for replication of BKPyV virus, a major cause of kidney transplant failure Date: December 6, 2024 Source: University of Alabama at Birmingham Summary: BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a ...

The pathogen that causes the disease, hepatitis D virus, is a virus like no other. What follows is an overview of its intricate, gymnastic replication cycle.

Without such an enzyme, the virus is rendered impotent — even if it manages to infiltrate a host cell, it cannot replicate. Viroids and virusoids, including hepatitis D, are the exception.

Here, Prof. Klein's team chose the E1A region of the virus, which is of particular importance at the very beginning of the viral replication cycle.

The cold sore virus takes over its host’s transcription machinery to replicate itself. Inhibiting a host enzyme can halt ...

Fifteen years ago, immunologist Dusan Bogunovic stumbled across a handful of patients whose bodies played by different rules.

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

Virus particles that are either too small or too large, compared to the optimum, will have a much higher energetic barrier to replication, and thus will take much longer to replicate.

Even though HMDMs phagocytosed the virus, they did not allow early-phase viral replication or protein synthesis to induce inflammatory responses due to the absence of ACE2.

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...
