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 ...

Griffith University researchers have played a key role in using DNA 'origami' templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research, published in Nature ...

In a recent article posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers explored the driving factors of the vaccinia virus assembly across infected cells. Study: Cryo-ET of infected cells reveals that ...

How do the hundreds of individual pieces that make up viruses assemble into shapes capable of spreading disease from cell to cell? Solving the mystery of self-assembly can pave the way for engineering ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

RNA viruses are renowned for their elegant structure and finely tuned self‐assembly processes, which are critical both for viral life cycles and for potential applications in nanotechnology and ...

In a twist on the question, 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?', scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: 'Which comes first, assembly of the viral ...
