Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

Researchers have identified how the tick-borne Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus enters our cells. The results are an important step in the development of drugs against the deadly disease.

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

EM images reveal how Marburg virus slips into human cells, exposing glycoprotein “cap” tricks and weak spots that could guide future antivirals, antibodies and vaccines.

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers have found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's ...

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our cells. Led by Monash University and the University of Melbourne, and ...

BRONX, N.Y., Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The protein on human cells that tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) uses for infection has now been identified—a major step toward understanding how TBEV ...

Monteil and her colleagues first investigated where the virus might attach to cells. To do that, the researchers randomly mutated single amino acids in rodent haploid cells and then exposed these ...

The process by which phages -- viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria -- enter cells has been studied for over 50 years. In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois ...

In a new study published in Nature, University of Minnesota researchers found that the Marburg virus, one of the world's deadliest pathogens with an average 73% fatality rate, is unusually efficient ...

The first author Thu Vu Phuc Nguyen, left, and Ido Golding investigated how coinfecting phages can impede each other’s entry into a cell. The process by which phages—viruses that infect and replicate ...
