This manuscript provides valuable information about the genesis of CPSF6 condensates due to HIV-1 infection. However, the evidence is incomplete as it is missing more functional assays. Furthermore, ...

With COVID in retreat (thanks to highly effective vaccines), the three infectious diseases causing public health officials ...

In a new study, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers reveal a bacterial immune system that thwarts the phages’ plot by attaching a small protein molecule to their tails. The components of this ...

Research conducted at the Department of Biology, University of Padova, has identified critical genomic milestones in the ...

RNA-targeting compounds or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a potent means for controlling viral infections. An essential prerequisite to their design depends on identifying conserved and ...

Several experimental systems are currently available for the detection and characterization of minority components of the mutant spectra of viral quasispecies including HIV, hepatitis C virus and ...

such as HIV, encode additional trans-regulating factors or contain cis-regulating elements, thereby influencing the type and amount of transcribed RNA. The whole viral genome is transcribed and ...

A biosecurity breach has come to light in Queensland, Australia, where 323 vials containing live viruses, including Hendra virus, Lyssavirus, and Hantavirus, have gone missing. The breach ...

Despite popular misconceptions, HIV isn’t transmissible through shared bites of food or drinking from the same cup, sneezing nearby, or hugging. The virus is transmissible through blood and ...

Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls announced today that 323 samples of live viruses—including Hendra virus, Lyssavirus and Hantavirus—went missing in 2021 in a "serious breach of ...

A drug used to treat HIV that has also shown promise in preventing infections is not a cure for those already infected, as claimed in social media posts. Apart from rare and dangerous stem cell ...

Like a true Swiss army knife, scientists could modify the NanoGripper to potentially detect and grab other viruses, including HIV, influenza, or hepatitis B, as detailed in the study. The ...
