The expression of host miRNAs is affected by virus invasion, which also affects virus replication. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that miRNA influences RNA virus multiplication by binding ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist.

Laboratory diagnosis of Ebola virus disease (EVD) plays a critical role in outbreak response efforts; however, establishing testing strategies for this high-biosafety-level pathogen in resource-poor ...

Recent research reveals that DNA and RNA epigenetics, previously studied as independent systems, actually function as a complementary regulatory network. This dual mechanism enables precise gene ...

The biggest filovirus outbreak, caused by Ebola virus, occurred in three West African countries from 2014 to 2016. It killed more than 11,000 people and infected more than 28,000. More recently ...

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics come in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their activity without modifying the DNA or RNA sequence itself. Until now ...

The often-deadly Ebola virus disease (EVD) is confined mostly to Africa, but because of how globally connected the world is today, it is regarded as a possible health threat worldwide. Still ...

The Marburg virus, which belongs to the Ebola family, is known to be highly lethal, with a mortality rate of 90%. The epidemic has already injured dozens of people and claimed eight lives.

The redness, inflammation, and pain of sunburn may stem from damage to RNA, not DNA. “Sunburn damages the DNA, leading to cell death and inflammation. So the textbooks say,” said Assistant ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible ...
