Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how ...

The discovery could serve as a starting point for antiviral strategies. A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the ...

A study headed by researchers at NYU Langone Health has found that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to help copy itself ...

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...
