Three-dimensional structures of the replication machinery of the dengue virus could lead to new, targeted antiviral drugs A detailed atomic exploration into how the dengue virus replicates its genome ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

For decades, biology textbooks have drawn a firm line: viruses are not alive. They lack the machinery to reproduce on their own, they carry no metabolism, and they depend entirely on host cells to ...
