PHILADELPHIA -– Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses ...

The nuclear egress complex (NEC) of herpesviruses such as HSV-1 is essential for the exit of nascent capsids from the cell nucleus. The NEC drives nuclear envelope vesiculation in cells, but the ...

A way to watch newly forming AIDS virus particles “budding” from human cells without interfering with the process has been developed by scientists. The method shows a protein named ALIX gets involved ...

Picture the scene. You’re driving along the I-5 and a large convoy with flashing yellow lights and a big banner labeled ‘Oversized-Load’ trundles along past you ...

HIV-1 assembles at the host cell's plasma membrane into enveloped, spherical particles that bud off to infect other cells. Garrus and colleagues now report in Cell that this budding process might use ...

Computer modeling has helped a team of scientists to decode previously unknown details about the 'budding' process by which HIV forces cells to spread the virus to other cells. The findings may offer ...

Computer modeling has helped a team of scientists, including several scholars from the University of Chicago, to decode previously unknown details about the process by which HIV forces cells to spread ...
