Hepatitis D virus hijacks host cell transcription machinery to make copies of its genetic code. Here, we take a look at the steps involved in this process.

Cells have evolved ingenious ways to defend themselves from viral attack. Research from The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute sheds light on one of their sneakier strategies.

A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses -- including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and hepatitis ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication.

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells.
