In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

Ollmann Saphire hypothesizes that these cloaking molecules are shed in layers when the virus approaches a cell. The structure also revealed that within the protein - a trimer made up of GP1 and GP2 ...

The stalk is an important part of the Ebola virus structure because it anchors Ebola's glycoprotein structure (which drives entry into a host cell) to Ebola's viral membrane.

One day after the first Ebola death in the United States, researchers at UVa announced they had determined the structure of a part of the virus they believe plays an important role in replication ...

Discovery of nucleocapsid structure paves the way for antivirals against Ebola virus and other filoviruses.

Researchers have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple ...

Inspecting the enemy Ebola virus relies on its nucleocapsid structure to protect and replicate its own genetic material inside host cells -- and suppress host cellular immunity.

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have uncovered the structure and function of the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire ebolavirus (Ebola virus).

The three-antibody combination neutralizes the Ebola virus by blocking it from entering host cells and/or by bringing in other immune cells to target infected cells and clear them from the body.
