This induction of curvature leads to SARS-CoV-2's spherical shape. "If we can better understand how the virus assembles itself, then, in principle, we can come up with ways to stop that process ...

The labs of two of these researchers, Takeshi Noda and Takao Hashiguchi, are revealing the detailed shapes of viruses at the atomic level, with a focus on filoviruses, such as Ebola, as well as ...

"Historically, scientists have focused on viruses in the ocean for their role in lysing (breaking open) cells. Our work shows that intact virus-infected cells are biochemically and physiologically ...
