The initial steps of viral infection involve the specific attachment of the viral particle to receptor(s) on the cell surface, followed by internalization of the virus into the cell and the ...

Study findings spotlight a highly potent source of Ebola virus shedding with the potential for person-to-person transmission.

Scientists believe the mutations may allow the virus to better bind to receptors in the upper airways of humans.

South of the border, a severe human avian flu case in Louisiana showed the same mutation in the hemagglutinin gene as the ...

He explains that to keep viruses from entering the cells, the technology can build antibodies that go after that portion that’s attaching to receptors and involved in cell entry. Because these ...

its receptors prefer animal hosts. This means the virus doesn’t enter the body at high levels. “It’s kind of forcing its entry using a jackhammer right now, so cases have generally been mild ...
