A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.

Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that’s airborne and spreads easily when an infected person breathes, sneezes or coughs. It is preventable through vaccines, and has been considered ...

The study, published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, shows that a process called chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) may function as a natural defense mechanism against metastases. Cancer remains one ...

Autophagy is a cellular degradation pathway for the clearance of damaged or superfluous proteins and organelles. The recycling of these intracellular constituents also serves as an alternative ...

by stimulating autophagy without affecting protein expression levels. Anti-HHV drugs may suppress virus replication during reactivation events. By preventing viral proliferation within infected ...

"The study highlights the need for new strategies that, in addition to suppressing the virus, by targeting metabolic health, which could be key to improving long-term health outcomes for PWH who ...

The study reveals that excessive activation of mTOR contributes to kidney injury by inhibiting autophagy, increasing oxidative stress, and promoting inflammation. It examines the impact of mTOR on ...

A Chinese team of virologists has found that this virus carries the risk of animal-to-human transmission. According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the new virus called HKU5-CoV-2 was ...

Extensive coronavirus research has led to the discovery of a new bat virus called HKU5-CoV-2. According to a new study published in the medical journal Cell, the new virus can enter human cells using ...

Can the new bat virus, HKU5-CoV-2, lead to another pandemic? According to Chinese researchers, the new coronavirus potentially transmits from animals to humans, and has reignited concerns about the ...

Autophagy is a process by which cellular material is degraded by lysosomes or vacuoles and recycled. Several autophagy pathways operate within a cell, including macroautophagy, microautophagy and ...

In the early, uncertain days of the coronavirus pandemic, scientists delivered one comforting pronouncement: The virus that caused COVID mutates rather slowly. If that remained true, the virus ...
