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 ...

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 ...

A virus originally found in animals, mpox – which causes the disease of the same name – is now circulating in humans. Since ...

Researchers at the Institut Pasteur have uncovered how mpox virus mutations make it resistant to tecovirimat, the primary ...

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 team then coated the inside of each shell with virus-binding substances such as antibodies. These shells can sandwich themselves together around viruses, encasing a viral particle more than 100 nm ...

Do viruses make sounds? It turns out they do, and scientists have developed a method to detect the acoustic vibrations of ...

Using BAC derived infectious clones, we have utilized virus genetics to understand the role of different viral proteins in the assembly of an infectious particle. Our results indicate that ...
