The incredible image above is the 3D structure of the Zika virus, which has only just been revealed. The finding could help scientists determine how the virus is transmitted and, hopefully, how to ...

Determining the structure of a virus is an important step in understanding and treating viral disease. For decades, structural biologists have been using cryo-electron microscopy to create ...

They then imaged the virus in Penn State's Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) facility. Cryo-EM is a technique that allows researchers to determine the 3D structure of proteins and viruses at near ...

Scientists share detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may accelerate the development of antivirals that target this viral structure ...

A team led by Purdue University researchers is the first to determine the structure of the Zika virus, which reveals insights critical to the development of effective antiviral treatments and vaccines ...

A 10-year Lassa virus research project has yielded structural and functional details of a key viral surface protein that could help advance development of Lassa vaccines and antibody-based ...

Let the virus talk to the world—perhaps as a ubiquitous animation. Its tendency to mutate as its hosts try different immunity options against it is killing us.

Researchers have identified the structure of the Zika virus, laying the foundation for further study into the ways it infects healthy cells, according to a new study.

China has published a short animation titled "Once Upon a Virus" mocking the U.S. response to the new coronavirus using Lego-like figures to represent the two countries. Washington and Beijing are ...
