PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has given scientists the first glimpse at how the measles virus wraps up its genome in its protective protein container. The 4.3-Å structure provides a platform for ...

Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Biologists at Purdue University have determined the combined structure of a common-cold virus attached to a molecule that enables the virus to infect its host, information that ...

The flu season is coming, and the frigid temperatures make it worse. The influenza B virus is the causative agent of the common flu, but over the past years, it has become more potent in causing ...

Despite the availability of a vaccine, measles virus (MV) remains a worldwide cause of morbidity and mortality 1,2. MV is an enveloped virus that belongs to the Morbillivirus genus of the ...

The Purdue University team that cracked the Zika virus’s code last year have now determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, a step toward better understanding how the virus ...
