Using tiny preserved lung fragments, scientists were able to understand the first known case of an RNA virus in humans
Understanding is crucial, if we are to prevent and treat these viruses effectively.
Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...
A research group has discovered a novel RNA viral genome from microbes inhabiting a high-temperature acidic hot spring. Their study shows that RNA viruses can live in high-temperature environments (70 ...
The world is absolutely teeming with viruses. The infectious agents are widely considered the most abundant biological entity on Earth. But a full understanding of viruses and the roles they play in ...
A virus lacks sensory organs, so it uses chemical cues to determine how it replicates its genetic material into new viral packages or assemblies with precise polarity. This polarity guides the RNA, ...
Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body’s defense ...
COVID-19 RNA may induce monocytes to develop cancer-fighting properties, potentially shrinking tumors in certain metastatic cancers. Patients resistant to prior immunotherapy showed the most benefit ...
