Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced microscopy method. The findings provide new insight into how the virus replicates ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, can now show how the dreaded poliovirus behaves when it takes over an infected cell and tricks the cell into producing new virus particles.

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...

Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...
