This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the sixth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today in eLife, is ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The outer shell, called the capsid (yellow and purple) envelopes the viral RNA genome (blue). Illustration credit: Janet Iwasa Accomplishing a feat that had been a ...

The film discusses the nature of viruses, including their structure, reproduction, and the diseases they cause. It explains how viruses are incredibly small and require a host cell to survive and ...

Scientists discovered that hepatitis A viral replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, and they used a ...

MADISON - A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses - including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...
