The genetic material of the HIV virus is encased in multiple structures that hide it from the host immune system. The capsid, in blue, protects the virus after it enters a cell and shuttles it to ...

The pulses are used to excite large amplitude vibrations in the protein coat of a viral particle — the capsid — thus damaging it and inactivating the virus. By proper tuning of the laser power ...

Three capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) died from rabies on Anchieta Island in the municipality of Ubatuba, São Paulo ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced gene therapy that targets the mitochondria of cancer cells, triggering cell death.

They graphically represent the life cycle of HIV-1, from the initial binding of the viral particle onto a host cell (Viral Entry), through insinuation into the host cell's nucleus to spark the ...

The researchers compared the infectiousness of two strains of avian flu, including H5N1, at different viral particle levels in mice lacking the IFITM3 gene and normal mice. At levels roughly ...
