The vector consists of a polyethylene glycolylated liposomal outer coat (providing immune evasion and prolonged circulation), a spindle-shaped nanomotor (resembling a flagellum, facilitating targeted ...

Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.

Gene therapy offers the possibility of addressing cancer at its molecular roots by targeting disease-causing genes rather than relying solely on surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Among RNA-based ...

Viral vectors are engineered viruses that are used to deliver genetic material into cells for various applications, such as gene therapy, vaccine development, and biotechnology research. These viruses ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo. Using cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force ...

Background: Toys in pediatric office waiting rooms may be fomites for transmission of viruses. Methods: Eighteen samples were taken from office objects on 3 occasions. Samples were tested for presence ...
