Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

One day after the first Ebola death in the United States, researchers at UVa announced they had determined the structure of a part of the virus they believe plays an important role in replication ...

All pathogenic filovirus species known so far, including Ebola and Marburg virus, share a conserved nucleocapsid structure. The group is leading further research to study nucleocapsid assembly ...

Targeting Ebola virus—and more As Watanabe explains, targeting the nucleocapsid spells game over for the virus. “If you don’t have a nucleocapsid, nothing can happen. That’s the core of the virus,” ...

Paving the way for antivirals against Ebola virus and its deadly relatives Scientists capture first look at key viral structure within infected host cells Date: September 17, 2024 Source: La Jolla ...

How the antibody cocktail works At 3.1 angstroms, the 3D structure is the highest-resolution image of the Ebola virus surface protein ever assembled using asymmetric reconstruction.

Researchers sorted memory B cells from Ebola virus infection survivors to isolate two broadly reactive anti-GP monoclonal antibodies—1C3 and 1C11.

The contagiousness of a virus can be described by its basic reproductive number (R0), an epidemiologic metric. So if a virus has an R0 value of 1, that means each infected person spreads the virus ...

Ebola was so lethal in upper West Africa not because the virus itself conveyed an inevitable death sentence, but because countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone lacked these health care essentials.

The Ebola virus causes a serious infection with a mortality rate between 50% and 90%. Nucleoproteins in the virus assemble into a helical arrangement and encapsulate a single stranded RNA genome ...
