This is consistent with our work in primary targets cells where we see dramatic differences in the regulation of innate immunity between these viruses, and also with differences in outcome in animal ...

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.

New Cleveland Clinic research shows how mosquito-transmitted viruses – like Zika, West Nile, Yellow Fever and dengue viruses – hijack host cells to promote their own replication and infection.

The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for replication, researchers report June 19 in Nature Communications.

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

The researchers found that once TAg was expressed, BKPyV maintained a replicative environment that relied on normal host cell cycle machinery and regulators. Previous research has established that ...

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

The researchers identified these compounds, which activate a host cell defense system known as the integrated stress response pathway, in a screen of nearly 400,000 molecules. In tests in human ...
