Zika virus is unusual in that it can cross the placenta and enter the fetus, where ANKLE2 is known to play a big role in brain development.

The mosquito-borne Zika virus is known for causing microcephaly, a birth defect in which abnormal brain development results in a smaller-than-expected head. A new study shows that the Zika virus ...

The mutation seen in both viruses is believed to help H5N1 adapt to be able to bind to cell receptors found in ... observed were likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient ...

[Editors' note: this paper was reviewed by Review Commons.] Cancer cells display high levels of oncogene-induced replication stress (RS) and rely on DNA damage checkpoint for viability. This feature ...

Mechanisms of clearance of HIV latency in or from CD4 + T-cells. The infection is ultimately eliminated ... to prevent intercellular spread and renewal of the released latent virus replication. ART ...

Genetic analysis of H5N1 bird flu viruses from a severely ill patient in Louisiana revealed multiple mutations that may enhance the virus’s ability to bind to human upper airway cells ...

H5N1 needs to be able not only to bind to and enter human cells, Dr. Rasmussen said, but also to replicate and shed new viruses once inside. Federal health officials said that the viruses from the ...

“I’d never heard of it,” Ms. Efonge said. This was back in August, when the mpox virus — closely related to smallpox — was still almost unknown in Kinshasa, a city of 17 million peopl ...

These microscope systems can be easily interfaced ... image can be specified during the mapping measurement. The “Clear-View” ATR objectives enable a simultaneous sample view even during ...

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) preferentially replicate in tumour cells making them ideal vehicles to deliver miRNA mimetics to the TME. Importantly, miRNA expressed by OVs get packaged within tumour-derived ...
