Influenza virus polymerase (FluPol) synthesizes the complementary RNA (cRNA) and the viral RNA (vRNA) using distinct de novo initiation strategies during genome replication, known as internal and ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how viruses such as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), West Nile virus, and ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Viruses play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, ...

Viruses play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, flow of matter and global biogeochemical cycles. Yet despite their ...
