Researchers found that the Marburg virus uses a highly efficient entry protein to infect human cells. They also identified a ...

Understanding virus entry and the subsequent intracellular journey of individual virions is critical for elucidating mechanisms of infection and developing effective antiviral strategies. Recent ...

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 ...

Once the virus attaches to receptor clusters, it sends signals that make the cell wrap it in a clathrin coat and build an actin bulge, pulling the virus inward. The virus is then pinched off into a ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

Cells actively help to capture and incorporate influenza viruses. Here, a cell is shown, with a virus in the centre of the image. Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose – as winter returns, so too does ...

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers found that the Marburg virus, one of the world’s deadliest pathogens with an average 73% fatality rate, is unusually efficient ...
