Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories for its own replication, and a growing body of three-dimensional ...

Advanced cryo-electron microscopy technology allows researchers to visualize measles viruses at high resolution in their native state.Movie courtesy of Zunlong Ke and Elizabeth Wright Researchers have ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced microscopy method. The findings provide new insight into how the virus replicates ...

An example of the images of viruses obtainable with cryo-CLEM. These images show pseudotyped HIV-1 particles being taken into the cell, with viral membrane as light blue, mature core as yellow, and ...

Viruses come in two major flavors—not chocolate and vanilla, quips Harvard Medical School structural biologist Stephen ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

Knipe and colleagues found that when a class of viruses known as enveloped viruses enter a cell by fusion at the plasma membrane, tremors in the cell scaffolding cause ruptures in the membrane of the ...

Elad Harel is used to shining a light on the mysteries of the natural world. Working at the cutting-edge of ultrafast spectroscopy—the application of short laser pulses to analyze the dynamics of ...
