Could viral infections play a role in Huntington's disease? Research suggests Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic ...

The diluted GeneTwin and the diluted DNA (or RNA) were mixed and incubated for 10 min at room temperature ... To investigate whether deduction of viral replication in NUP85 knockdown cells would ...

In addition, we verified that overexpression of pA151R facilitated DNA virus Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication by inhibiting IFN-β production. Importantly, knockdown of pA151R inhibited ASFV ...

An international team of scientists led by geneticists and disease biologists from the University of Oxford and LMU Munich have used ancient DNA to trace the evolution of Marek's Disease Virus (MDV).

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

Zika virus, infamous for causing microcephaly, manipulates a host protein called ANKLE2 to assist its replication, which also affects brain development. This process differs from other mosquito-borne ...

In all patients, high copy numbers of the viral DNA were also noted, indicating the presence of viral replication. In another 10 patients with anterior uveitis with iris atrophy, the VZV genome was ...

Shah is senior author of the team’s published paper in mBio, titled “Microcephaly protein ANKLE2 promotes Zika virus replication.” In the paper, the team concluded that in combination with ...
