Viral Infection

Synthetic chains of molecules containing different sugars can inhibit viruses effectively. The extent to which such molecules could be used as antiviral drugs is illustrated by a team of researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and University of Münster (WWU) in the February editi more

During a viral infection, viruses enter the body and multiply in its cells. Viruses often specifically attach themselves to the sugar structures of the host cells, or present characteristic sugar structures on their surface themselves. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have dev more

Viral infections are currently more topical than ever. Not only are coronavirus and influenza constantly in the news but it is also the season for colds – and, as we all know, colds are caused by rhinovirus. A Medical University of Vienna start-up, "G.ST Antivirals GmbH" now has viral infections in more

To understand overall infectivity, virus progression and disease onset it is important to perform a detailed examination of cytopathic effects. Depending on the type of viruses and cells, different cytopathic effects might be observed dependent on th more
