Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV): A Hidden Respiratory Threat or Just Another Cold Virus?
ByDr. Tamanna Anwar January 8, 2025October 22, 2026

Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus that has recently gained prominence in public health discussions, particularly due to outbreaks in various regions, including China and India. First identified in 2001 by Dutch researchers, HMPV belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family, which includes other significant respiratory pathogens like Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). While the virus was…

Deciphering the Genetic Blueprint: Groundbreaking Research Reveals Genomic Factors Driving Monkeypox Virus Transmissibility
ByAnshika Gupta April 24, 2024October 22, 2026

An epidemic of monkeypox occurred in May 2023 that led to a disease named mpox displaying symptoms such as fever, enlarged lymph nodes, and rash. This ailment is usually mild and self-limited, but severe cases can be harrowing and may cause lifetime scarring. In response to the outbreak, researchers from Mount Sinai and the Carlos…

UChicago Scientists Crack the Code of HIV Entry into the Nucleus of the Cell: Could it Lead to New Treatment Strategies?
ByDeotima Chakraborty February 8, 2024October 22, 2026

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers at the University of Chicago have succeeded in creating a comprehensive model of the nuclear pore complex with the HIV-1 virus capsid. This sheds new light on the complex processes viruses like HIV use to enter host cell nuclei and replicate. HIV-1 transports genetic material into the nucleus through…

Scientists Develop Hybrid Molecules by Drug Repurposing in an Effort to Design New Drugs to Treat Covid-19
ByDr. Tamanna Anwar May 26, 2022October 22, 2026

Controlling the spread of the highly contagious disease and protecting human health requires developing new medications that stay effective against growing COVID-19 variations. After spending more than two years studying SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, the researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are designing and testing small-molecule antivirals…

EMBL’s Scientists Modeled Molecular Complexes Inside Cells at Atomic Resolution Using Modern Software and Cryo-electron Tomography
ByDr. Tamanna Anwar January 26, 2022November 9, 2022

To better comprehend the function of cells, scientists examine how different components of a cell – from single molecules to several organelles – work in synchronization. They studied individual molecules using classic structural biology tools, honing individual atoms. However, this method yields only static photographs of molecules in most circumstances. Instead, the scientists used cryo-electron…
