they can replicate efficiently only in cells in the lower region of the respiratory tract, where the avian-virus receptor is prevalent. This restriction may contribute to the inefficient human-to ...

Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV)-based vectors ... Although AAV uses the ubiquitously expressed cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) as a receptor, the transduction efficiency of AAV ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist. To address this critical ...

A SARS-CoV-2 particle enters a person's nose or mouth and floats in the airway until it brushes against a lung cell that has an ACE2 receptor on the surface. The virus binds to that cell ...

These 2D images are combined to produce a representation of the virus's 3D structures at high resolutions ... ready to engage with host cell receptors and regulate the virus's fusion and entry ...

Other than priming certain viral surface proteins for fusion, cleavage generates a carboxy-terminal RXXR sequence. This C-end Rule (CendR) motif is known to bind to neuropilin (NRP) receptors on the ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells ... with the human NPC1 receptor. Their findings revealed ...

was identified as the primary receptor for Semliki Forest virus when entering host cells. Reaches the brain in the same way as other viruses In the current study, the Uppsala researchers verified ...
