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 ...

How does the Ebola virus prevent immune cells from doing their job - protecting the body from infection - if it doesn’t actually invade them? In a new study from the University of Texas Medical Branch ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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.
