Scientists have discovered 20 new bat viruses in China, including strains related to Nipah and Hendra, raising global health ...

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- University of Iowa researchers working on a gene therapy for cystic fibrosis have discovered an unlikely ally -- the deadly Ebola virus.

Many viruses have been linked to bats, as they are known disease carriers. The Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, and Hendra viruses […] ...

Gene Identified in Mice and Monkeys Acts as Natural Antiviral Against HIV, Ebola, and Other Deadly Infections October 1, 2021 ...

To learn about Ebola's effects on the immune system, the team measured gene and protein activity across the genome in many types of both infected and uninfected immune cells, and monitored changes ...

The second gene is known as CD74 — specifically, a variant known as p41. Those genes have previously been thought to be involved in conventional immune responses involving T cells and B cells.

The first sign that viral genomics might transform epidemiology came in the wake of the 2013-16 Ebola epidemic in West Africa. For the first time, on-the-ground, same-day genetic sequencing ...

Ebola VSV contains genes from Ebola and a virus that primarily infects cattle (VSV). The research centers on a section of a specific biological structure called the mucin-like domain (MLD) ...

His latest focus has been on Ebola's VP40 protein, encoded by one of the seven genes. "VP40 forms the virus's matrix layer, a layer of protein beneath the lipid envelope.

Scientists are investigating how the cell-destroying abilities of viruses can be leveraged to better attack different cancers, with a new study showing how a gene taken from the Ebola virus could ...

The Ebola virus produces widely varying reactions, from asymptomatic illness to death, in people depending on the individual's susceptibility. But what drives this difference in response? A new ...
