These steps can occur in close association with cellular structures, in particular cellular membranes and the cytoskeleton. Viruses are known to manipulate cells to facilitate their replication ...

The central dogma of biology defines the flow of genetic information: It describes how proteins are made from mRNA templates, ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...

Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology ... Glycoproteins typically bind to receptors on the membrane of a host cell. Viruses that do not bud from the host cell membrane ...

The broad research interest of the lab is to understand EBV-2 biology, specifically elucidating the significance of EBV-2 infection of T cells and the origins of EBV-2 associated lymphomas in ...

In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ...

which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and several mutations in previous variants of concern have been shown to be important for increasing ...
