Filoviruses—such as Ebola and Marburg viruses—can cause hemorrhagic fevers with up to 90% lethality. Not only that, but there are very few tools (vaccines or drugs) to combat them. Now, scientists at ...

For the first time, researchers have captured the formation of a key driver of inflammatory responses inside intact human cells. Pioneering a new system for observing molecular assemblies, researchers ...

A team of scientists has uncovered a key strategy used by coronaviruses to turn human cells into virus-production factories. Published in a leading scientific journal, the research reveals that during ...
