Spike mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants impact vaccine-mediated protection. In this study, the authors identify mutations that also alter spike cleavage and virus entry and that these Omicron m...

HHS memo says Ralph Baric had a “pattern of deception” in describing virus studies long before pandemic

Coronaviruses (CoV) are important human pathogens causing hundreds of millions of infections and millions of deaths over the past 20 years. The study of how these viruses multiply and cause disease id...

Coronaviruses (CoVs) replicate their RNA genomes with increased fidelity than other RNA viruses, a mechanism mediated by the proofreading and recombination activities of the exoribonuclease domain of ...

Stress granules play a key role in host-antiviral defenses, and viruses have developed strategies to antagonize their activity. For SARS-CoV-2, the virus has two proteins that antagonize stress granul...

Influenza A virus infection causes a dramatic upregulation of ADP-ribosylation that as part of the cellular antiviral response, a process that is counteracted by the viral NS1 protein.

Lung transplant patient Hannah Goetz’s life depended on the generic version of the critical drug tacrolimus. It was supposed to be equivalent to the brand-name medication — but the FDA doesn’t always ...

Fever is an evolutionary conserved response to pathogens. In this Perspective, Langlois hypothesizes that antiviral genes are selected for their function a

As virologists, we are constantly studying symbiosis. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and symbionts as a result. Symbiotic virus-host relationships can be antagonist, neutral, or mutualistic for the host (1). It is these mutualistic relationships that are perhaps the most curious. How can a virus, which uses cellular resources, benefit a host? It all depends on context and the right conditions for mutualism to emerge. However, we should not stop at understanding virus-host mutualism from a scientific perspective. We should also consider mutualistic symbiotic relationships in our careers. The right conditions for professional mutualism in virology may surprise you.

Known to augment host innate immunity, Zhou and Ahearn et al. shows that a SARS-CoV2 NSP15 mutant also increases viral recombination and reduces sub-genomic message. Results articulate a novel role fo...

Antagonism of the host responses that limits viral replication is critical to the success of infection. Recently, we identified that the hypervariable region (HVR) of SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 binds to FXR1 and...

Nine Emory faculty members are among the list of the world's most influential and highly cited researchers for 2025, as compiled by the data analytics firm Clarivate.

To best combat the evolving landscape of SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest and variants of concern, the development of effective small animal models is of critical importance. Herein, we describe the de...

“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

Here is a closer look at the top-ranking officials who resigned from the CDC this week.

The end of an era.

The man who attacked the CDC headquarters in Atlanta on Friday fired more than 180 shots into the campus and broke about 150 windows, with bullets piercing “blast-resistant” windows and […]
