Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

At the cellular level, HIV-1 transmission involves a highly coordinated process whereby the virus binds to CD4 receptors and one of two coreceptors—CCR5 (R5) or CXCR4 (X4)—on host immune cells, ...

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers have found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's ...

Semliki Forest virus was originally isolated from mosquitoes in the Semliki Forest, Uganda, hence the name. Upon systemic infection from mosquito bites, Semliki Forest virus causes mild blood viremia ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified key entry routes that two deadly viruses use to infect cells. Shown are mouse neurons and their cell nuclei (purple and blue). On the left, infection with ...

EM images reveal how Marburg virus slips into human cells, exposing glycoprotein “cap” tricks and weak spots that could guide future antivirals, antibodies and vaccines.

Hopefully, you have already received your seasonal flu vaccine this year. These shots are highly effective at preventing illness, ultimately lowering the spread of the virus throughout the population.

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve. But ...
