In this Review, we outline the mechanisms by which viral infection can trigger autoimmune disease and describe the pathways by which infection and immune control of infectious disease might be ...

The data shows that RNA interacts with a mitochondrial protein complex to trigger immune response pathways when viral RNA is ...

NANJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have recently discovered a new antiviral mechanism that allows bacteria to resist phage infection, providing a guide for the development of related ...

Similar to the established antiviral oseltamivir, ALS-1 is designed to exploit vulnerability in the influenza virus. However, ALS-1 has a different mechanism of action than current antivirals ...

"In these conditions, an effective defense strategy is programmed cell death, which stops the development of viral infection ...

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time ...

Key steps in the life cycle of HCV include entry into the host cell, uncoating of the viral genome, translation of viral proteins, viral genome replication, and the assembly and release of virions.

This strategy is a cellular mechanism that prevents cells from being used as factories for virus production. Our unpublished results suggests that overcoming this cellular brake on viral ...

Other than priming certain viral surface proteins for fusion, cleavage generates a carboxy-terminal RXXR sequence. This C-end Rule (CendR) motif is known to bind to neuropilin (NRP) receptors on the ...
