Recent molecular findings offer new details on how Nipah and Hendra viruses attack cells, and the immune responses that try to counter this onslaught. The results point toward multi-pronged tactics to ...

A team of US-based scientists has recently demonstrated the cryo-electron microscopic structure and antigenicity of the attachment glycoprotein of the Nipah virus. The study is published in the ...

Since the 1930s, scientists have explored a virus called LCMV (short for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus) to reveal the hidden workings of the immune system. The virus is carried by rodents, which ...

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread around the world, researchers across the globe have been analyzing severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as well as similar ...

In 2013, Jason McLellan and his colleagues determined the molecular structure of RSV's F glycoprotein in the prefusion conformation (the shape it takes before the virus infects a cell). This enabled ...
