A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the replication of coronaviruses: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated ...
A recent iScience study finds that the swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) promotes autophagy to maintain its replication inside host cells. More specifically, the virus downregulates ...
Despite vaccines and treatments, SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to hijack human cells in ways that still ...
A schematic diagram showing the significant contribution of SCoV2-induced altered mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial EGFR translocation in sustaining viral propagation. First, SCOV2 RNA and ...
Research appearing in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry shows for the first time SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, can be inhibited from replicating in living cell cultures using a ...
High-resolution images provide clarity into how viral proteins are separated by a protease, an important step during virus replication that is targeted by an approved COVID-19 drug. UNIVERSITY PARK, ...
In early 2020, Eric Pringle and Brett Duguay found themselves spending much of their time in their microbiology lab on the seventh floor of Dal's Tupper Building. The virologists were busy testing ...
This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Cristina Alli, Chiara Soldati, Ottavia Cecchetti, Monica Bisbocci, Sara Pugliese, Mauro Cerretani, Elisa Beghetto, Marta ...
To try to stay ahead of any future pandemics, scientists at Scripps Research in La Jolla are taking a deeper look into the proteins that coronaviruses depend on to survive. And with their findings, ...
