The mosquito-borne Zika virus is known for causing microcephaly, a birth defect in which abnormal brain development results in a smaller-than-expected head. A new study published Jan. 13 in mBio shows ...
To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
Understanding the differences between bacteria and viruses is crucial for recognizing how these microorganisms impact our ...
During viral reproduction, the influenza polymerase (top left, in blue) scans along the ribonucleoprotein helix to produce messenger RNA. Credit: Science Like a camera-shy teenager, influenza’s ...
Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...
Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed a key defence system in plants to ...
Scientists at CSIR-CCMB have decoded the molecular mechanisms behind how plants use 'sticky' protein droplets to trap and disable invading viruses, potentially leading to more resilient crops and new ...
