Many viruses package their genome inside an icosahedral protein shell, which provides both stability and efficiency in enclosing the genetic material. "Until now, most studies have focused on simpler ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, known as anti-Ma2 paraneoplastic neurological syndrome, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and ...

The press release below was prepared by University of Utah Health. View the original. In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing ...

Archaeal viruses represent a remarkably diverse group infecting a domain of life distinct from both bacteria and eukaryotes. Their genomic characteristics often reveal novel gene repertoires and ...

Composite copper–lanthanum and copper–yttrium oxides developed by researchers from Japan demonstrate exceptionally high antiviral activity against non-enveloped virus. These oxides are highly stable ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...
