Imagine a virus so lethal that up to 90% of those infected don’t survive. That’s Marburg - a rare but extremely dangerous disease with no known cure. In this video, we explore its history, how it ...

The Viral Protein 35 (VP35), a crucial protein of the Zaire Ebolavirus (EBOV), interacts with a plethora of human proteins to cripple the human immune system. Despite its importance, the entire ...

An antibody from an Ebola survivor may be the key to fighting the virus more efficiently. The mAb 3A6 antibody binds to a hidden part of Ebola’s structure, stopping infection in its tracks, even at ...

New research led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) reveals the workings of a human antibody called mAb 3A6, which may prove to be an important component for Ebola virus ...

The stalk is an important part of the Ebola virus structure because it anchors Ebola's glycoprotein structure (which drives entry into a host cell) to Ebola's viral membrane.

Many other viruses – such as measles, Ebola, Nipah, Hendra and respiratory syncytial virus – also incorporate a mixed-shape infection strategy, the researchers note.
