• Research in the News: A viral trick, revealed
  Viruses such as West Nile and dengue have an intriguing way to hijack cells once they have been internalized by the cell. The illustration shows a flavivirus invading a cell by fusing its lipid membrane with the membrane of an endosome, which delivers the viral genetic material into the cytoplasm for replication.  The timing and mechanism of this fusion event are described in a new study in the ...

  The current understanding of alphavirus and flavivirus life cycles at the molecular level is incomplete because we lack a structural foundation for the viral and host proteins involved in RNA replication, how this genome is packaged, and how the...
