A deadly tick-borne illness, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), continues to claim lives with no specific ...
Scientists developed a fast, cell-free system to create virus-mimicking vaccines, enabling quicker responses to emerging ...
Researchers from Cornell and Northwestern universities have developed a rapid, cell-free method for building nanoparticle ...
A research team with Professor Neha Kamat used synthetic liposomes and bacterial extracts to generate immune responses ...
Soap, a seemingly simple item, is a potent weapon against viruses and bacteria. Its molecules dismantle the protective fatty layer surrounding harmful microbes, rendering them harmless. The soap ...
SARS-CoV-2 has a similar structure to TGEV: an enveloped virus with an outer lipid membrane and three proteins forming the surface. “We collaborated with the University of Tartu in studies of ...
The structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex elucidated using cryoelectron microscopy.
Lipid-enveloped viruses, such as Ebola, influenza, or coronaviruses, are a major threat to human health. Ethanol is an efficient disinfectant that is widely used to inactivate these viruses and ...
Membrane fusion is a fundamental process that is exploited by enveloped viruses to enter host cells. In the case of the influenza virus, fusion is facilitated by the trimeric viral hemagglutinin ...
Again, each worked to a different extent on the three enveloped viruses: some disrupted all three, some only one. However, none of the peptoids could inactivate the non-enveloped coxsackie B3 virus, ...
Researchers suggest new approach may lead to drugs that can be used against many enveloped viruses, and could also help overcome antiviral resistance.
