The common and important infectious viruses in pigs and poultry mainly include DNA and RNA viruses, which pose significant threats to both animal and human ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have discovered a unique genetic mechanism that provides cells ...

The global health landscape is constantly challenged by the emergence and re-emergence of viral pathogens. While significant ...

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 ...

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

There are examples that the antiviral mechanisms themselves can directly affect immune functions with beneficial consequences. Also the possibility that viruses underly the pathogenesis of some ...

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

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.

Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...

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 ...
