Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced ...

We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

UCLA researchers report in the April 30 edition of the journal Cell that they have imaged a virus structure at a resolution high enough to effectively "see" atoms, the first published instance of ...

A research group has successfully determined, for the first time in the world, the capsid (outer shell) structure of ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — High school students across Montana are finding previously unknown viruses usingMontana Technological University’s new state-of-the-art scanning/transmission electron microscope. The ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

The data revealed 82 specific locations (or loci) in the human genome associated with viral DNA load, especially in the Major ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe ...
