This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple filoviruses, enhancing treatment options against Ebola and potentially other related viruses. Key ...

This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, but since it was first identified in 1976, there have actually been more than 20 serious Ebola incidents. Thankfully, none of them had the ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a critical protein from the Ebola virus, which, though rare, is one of the deadliest viruses on the planet killing between 50 and 90 percent of those ...

The new study shows how one of Ebola virus's key proteins, VP40, uses molecular triggers in the human cell to transform itself into different tools for different jobs.

Since the first terrifying outbreak in 2013, the Ebola virus has periodically emerged in Africa, causing horrific bleeding in its victims and, in many cases, death. Juan Perilla, assistant professor ...

We're all taught that proteins have 'a' structure. Ebola virus's VP40 protein, however, changes itself into different structures at different times, depending on the function needed." ...
