Researchers have identified that the Ebola virus recruits a host enzyme, PP2A-B56, for replication, demonstrating that inhibiting this pathway could be a target for drug discovery.
New research has suggested that mosquitoes are more likely to transmit dengue virus in warmer weather, indicating climate patterns as an early warning system for outbreaks.
In a recently published study, researchers have utilized spectroscopy techniques to provide an in-depth understanding of the atomic interaction that occurs when viral buds are released from the host cell’s membrane after infection.
In this editorial the authors discuss how targeting the human TREX complex could prevent herpesvirus replication, highlighting their own work targeting herpesvirus lytic replication through inhibition of the hTREX complex.
Researchers have determined the full structure of Zika protein NS5; a protein is crucial for viral replication and which could present a target for future drug development.
