When viruses infect cells, changes in the cell nucleus occur, and these can be observed through fluorescence microscopy. Using fluorescence images from live cells, researchers have trained an ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

Measurement of the weight of individual virus particles from untreated and antibody-treated populations was made by quantitative electron microscopy. The weight of antibody bound depended on the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 4 (January 28, 2020), pp. 2099-2107 (9 pages) Nonsegmented negative-stranded (NNS) RNA viruses, among ...

Coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, replicate their RNA genomes inside compartments they build within the cells they infect. The most abundant components of these so-called replications organelles are ...

Visualizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been integral to discovering ways of combating the disease in the past year; using a helium ion microscope means this can be done with even more clarity. A team of ...

The discovery could serve as a starting point for antiviral strategies. A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, ...
