Biomechanics of how the Ebola virus attaches to its host cell Date: March 26, 2019 Source: Lehigh University Summary: Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host ...

Researchers have identified a key process that enables the Ebola virus to infect host cells, providing a novel target for developing antiviral drugs. Researchers have identified a key process that ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" ...

Despite its isolation three decades ago, Ebola virus continues to cause periodic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, and the closely related Marburg virus is responsible for a recent ...

During Ebola virus infection, the cell tropism of the virus is determined ... However, the existence of a natural host yet to be identified presumably provides the reservoir necessary to ensure ...

The Zika virus, which is mostly transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, emerged around 2007 to cause infections around the ...

Zika virus uses host cell autophagy to suppress antiviral proteins AXL and TIM-1, enhancing its ability to infect without ...

To enter a human cell, an ebolavirus glycoprotein has to attach ... This work can guide future surveillance efforts to identify the host reservoir of Ebola virus and other related viruses. As new ...

Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to replicate itself and eventually make its way back out of the cell into the bloodstream, where it can spread further ...

Our results provide first insights into the host response of primary human liver cells upon Ebola virus infection," Mostoslavsky and Mühlberger said about the study.

The host enzyme Xkr8 is transported to the Ebola virus budding site along with viral glycoprotein(GP) and then incorporated to the viral envelope. Xkr8 flips PS from the inner layer to the outer ...

Researchers have identified a key process that enables the Ebola virus to infect host cells, providing a novel target for developing antiviral drugs. The deadly Ebola virus incorporates a cellular ...
