Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host cell interaction driven by Ebola's adhesion to cell surface receptors. The findings could provide new information to help ...
On binding to cell-surface receptors, Ebola virus is internalized and sequestered within an endosome. A recent study by Chandran and colleagues 1 shows that two endosomal proteases, cathepsin B ...
A new anti-Ebola virus solution based on this finding: blocking TLR4 activation to prevent Ebola-conducted immune cell death. "Our findings suggest that a drug that blocks TLR4 could be used to treat ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The idea of the Ebola virus becoming airborne is not far-fetched and its ability to enter cells that line the trachea and lungs has been shown under controlled laboratory ...
Batra, J et al (2018) Protein Interaction Mapping Identifies RBBP6 as a Negative Regulator of Ebola Virus Replication. Cell 175 (7) 1917-1930. Editorial Standards Reprints & Permissions.
In their evolutionary battle for survival, viruses have developed strategies to spark and perpetuate infection. Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to ...
The researchers looked to better understand the biomechanics of Ebola virus-host cell adhesion. The project paired Jagota’s expertise in computational molecular adhesion mechanics with Zhang’s ...
T cells play an important role in clearing virus during acute infection, but little is known about the specific response of T cells during Ebola infection. A study from Scripps Research Institute ...
The Ebola virus has the ability to construct its own shelter, conceal itself, ... Ebola Virus' Fresh Approach in Cell Infection Identified. by Colleen Fleiss on Dec 19 2023 11:57 PM.
A U.S. research team has discovered a protein called Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1), which they found was responsible for allowing Ebola virus to enter and replicate within cells.
