Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex ...
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection dramatically remodels the host cell's nuclear structures. Infection leads to the formation of viral replication compartments and to chromatin ...
All organisms — from fungi to mammals — have the capacity to evolve and adapt to their environments. But viruses are master shapeshifters with an ability to mutate greater than any other organism. As ...
Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of themselves. Herpes simplex ...
Researchers found that Herpes simplex virus type 1 reorganizes nuclear speckles, essential sites for RNA processing. Without intact speckles, viral messenger RNAs cannot exit the nucleus, limiting ...
A common hallmark of viral genome replication is a high mutation rate, which can aid in their ability to evade new treatments and acquire resistance to once-effective antiviral medications. Now, a new ...
A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...
A phase 3 trial finds pritelivir significantly improves cure rates for immunocompromised individuals with refractory HSV infections.
