How Ebola Virus Infects Cells | New England Journal of Medicine
Jun 23, 2005 · Embedded within the host-derived lipid envelope of Ebola virus are glycoprotein spikes that bind to cells and mediate fusion between the viral envelope and the host cell membrane, enabling the...
Ebola Virus: How it infects people, and how scientists are working …
Oct 14, 2014 · Upon entering the body, the virus targets specific cell types, including liver cells, cells in the immune system, and endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels. Once inside the cells, one of the proteins made by the virus is called Ebola virus glycoprotein [4].
What does Ebola actually do? - Science | AAAS
Aug 13, 2014 · It infects dendritic cells, which normally display signals of an infection on their surfaces to activate T lymphocytes—the white blood cells that could destroy other infected cells before the virus replicates further.
New study shows how the Ebola virus infects cells - Phys.org
Nov 1, 2023 · In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Karolinska Institutet and the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology have identified a new molecule in cells that is necessary...
Biomechanics of how the Ebola virus attaches to its host cell
Mar 26, 2019 · Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host cell interaction driven by Ebola's adhesion to cell surface receptors. The findings could provide new information to...
Molecular mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis: focus on cell death
In this review, we analyze the molecular mechanisms at the basis of Ebola pathogenesis with a particular focus on the cell death pathways induced by the virus. We also discuss how the treatment of the infection can benefit from the recent experience of blocking/modulating cell death in human degenerative diseases.
The lifecycle of the Ebola virus in host cells - PMC - PubMed …
Ebola haemorrhagic fever causes deadly disease in humans and non-human primates resulting from infection with the Ebola virus (EBOV) genus of the family Filoviridae. However, the mechanisms of EBOV lifecycle in host cells, including viral entry, ...
Scientists discover new method Ebola virus uses to infect cells
Dec 18, 2023 · Scientists at Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) recently published findings in the Journal of Infectious Diseases indicating that Ebola virus creates and uses intercellular...
How Ebola disables people's immune defenses | ScienceDaily
May 24, 2017 · Specifically, the researchers found that the Ebola virus binds directly to white blood cells (critical to the immune system) leading to their death.
Ebola Virus Disease - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Mar 1, 2024 · Virus release from the cell is by budding from the cell membrane; this can cause direct damage to the cell and cell death. EBOV-specific cellular and humoral immune responses develop but are often outpaced by virus-host cell interactions.
