A class of antivirals called Pin1 inhibitors could reduce or stop outbreaks of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the common ...

They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...

A team identified herpes virus saimiri, which infects the T cells of squirrel monkeys, as a source of proteins that activate pathways in T cells that are needed to promote T cell survival. Recent ...

Feb 21 (Reuters) - A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it ...

How a Plant Virus Trains the Immune System The researchers tested CPMV in mice and even in pet dogs with cancer. In both cases, the results were striking. When they injected the virus directly into ...

Viral membrane proteins are the proteins of choice in vaccines but are difficult to produce quickly and reliably for use in vaccines, limiting rapid response during emerging outbreaks. Researchers ...
