Sialic acids (Sia) on glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids act as receptors for many respiratory viruses, including human influenza A viruses and r...

npj Viruses - Merbecovirus S2 subunit vaccines elicit cross reactive antibodies and provide partial protection against MERS coronavirus

Mouse models show that respiratory infections from viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 can trigger metastasis of dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, a finding supported by epidemiological d...

Influenza viruses replicate and transcribe their genome in the context of a conserved ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. By integrating cryo–electron microscopy single-particle analysis and cryo–electro...

There is a great need to better understand correlates of protection (CoP) against influenza A and B viruses (IAV/IBV). In our study, we analyzed paired plasma and nasal swabs from patients presenting ...

This chapter describes basic workflows for concentrating and for purifying influenza virions. It presents several ways in which ultracentrifugation can be used to concentrate influenza virions from th...

Avian influenza poses significant economic challenges to the poultry industry and presents potential risks to human health. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that facilitate the emergence of chic...

Structurally convergent antibodies targeting the conserved influenza HA anchor epitope have provided a template for next-generation vaccine development. The authors identified four anchor antibodies e...

Two coronaviruses related to MERS-CoV, which infect European Pipistrellus bats, have been found to use ACE2 as their receptor. These viruses target an ACE2 surface region distant from those recognized...

After four incredible years, I have officially earned my PhD! Grateful for all the support and for the many small but shining moments that made this journey…

Functional systematic pseudotype virus-based analysis of the ability of diverse animal viruses to enter into a panel of well-characterized human cell lines shows a broad compatibility between animal v...

Mass poultry vaccination affects H5 avian influenza virus transmission and evolution, revealing complex host-virus dynamics.

In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is a common feature of viral infection that can generate enormous complexity, complicating understanding of infection progression and interpretation of differences between v...

Enyjoyin EPICVIR meetin in London. It was a great meeting with very interesting results coming together for the protect. Thanks everyone!

Author summary Paramyxovirus entry, the first step in establishing an infection, involves two key processes: attachment and virus-cell fusion. Paramyxoviruses use their attachment protein to bind to s...

Virus induction of a Warburg-like effect promotes lactylation of immune response proteins to prevent initiation of host immunity.

This project is focused on deciphering the role of virally encoded AAA+ ATPases in the replication cycles of Enteroviruses and Noroviruses.

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration Rotterdam Zoo have started testing a vaccine to protect young elephants from the deadly elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV).

Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 viruses of the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/1996 (GsGd) lineage pose significant global risks to wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. Recent cross-spec...
