Ebola Infection Blocked In Cell-culture Experiments Date: June 24, 2009 Source: University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Summary: Researchers have discovered two biochemical pathways that ...

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 ...

Biomechanics of how the Ebola virus attaches to its host cell Date: March 26, 2019 Source: Lehigh University Summary: Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host ...

When the researchers engineered human cells to have no RBBP6, and then infected those cells with Ebola virus, viral replication substantially increased. However, ...

New research shows that Ebola virus targets the host’s immune system to produce more severe disease. Specifically, the virus signals T-cells to induce a cytokine storm, a hallmark of the infection.

Ebola, in fact, appears to invade some cells that dont have folate receptors, Bates says. There have to be other keys out there unlocking the doors to these cells, he says.

Ebola is a deadly infectious disease that seems to pop back up just often enough to remind us that it’s still lurking out there, waiting to wreak havoc. New research by scientists at the Texas ...

But Ebola disarms the cell and uses this crucial bodily defender as a factory to spew out its progeny. We need to understand the mechanisms by which Ebola invades dendritic cells, ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like ‘Sukunaarchaeum ...

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 ...

New research in the journal Nature Communications gives scientists an important window into how Ebola virus replicates inside host cells. The study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for ...
