New research in the journal Nature Communications gives scientists an important window into how Ebola virus replicates inside host cells. The study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for ...

The researchers looked to better understand the biomechanics of Ebola virus-host cell adhesion. The project paired Jagota’s expertise in computational molecular adhesion mechanics with Zhang’s ...

It was recently reported that the number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 1,000, making it the second-worst outbreak in history after the 2014 outbreak in West ...

Human cells possess a protein that mimics an Ebola virus protein and blocks virus growth. ... how it causes severe disease and how components of the host cell interact with the virus,” says Basler.

Harty has been working on Ebola for more than two decades. In trying to better understand virus-host interactions to identify better treatments, he has focused on VP40, the viral matrix protein ...

In their evolutionary battle for survival, viruses have developed strategies to spark and perpetuate infection. Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to ...

The group used cryo-electron tomography of cells transfected with viral proteins, and infected with model Ebola virus, to illuminate assembly intermediates. They obtained a 9 Å map of the ...

The Ebola virus incorporates a cellular enzyme into its virus particles, facilitating the infection to the target cells, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Pathogens.
