Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

Using cutting-edge imaging technology, researchers have determined the structure of a protein complex that lets viruses similar to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) establish permanent ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

The atomic-level structure of the bluetongue virus, a disease that has killed an estimated two million cattle in Europe over the past two decades, has been revealed by a new study.

"The findings are important in terms of studying the evolution of cells, bacteria and viruses," said Siyang Sun, a postdoctoral research associate working in Rossmann's lab.

LA JOLLA--Using cutting-edge imaging technology, Salk Institute and Harvard Medical School researchers have determined the structure of a protein complex that lets viruses similar to the human ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 can alter the genomic structure of cells, which may explain the immunological symptoms that someone experiences from an infection, according to a new study from ...

Researchers have identified the structure of the Zika virus, laying the foundation for further study into the ways it infects healthy cells, according to a new study.

Measles virus hemagglutinin (MVH) can bind to different cell surface receptors in the human host. CD46, the first identified MVH receptor, is used mainly by vaccine strains, whereas clinical ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells ...

The cell also makes copies of the virus' DNA, which are fed into the newly developed shells by the DNA packaging motor. The newly assembled virus is then released from the host cell, and may then ...
