A way to watch newly forming AIDS virus particles “budding” from human cells without interfering with the process has been developed by scientists. The method shows a protein named ALIX gets involved ...

PHILADELPHIA -– Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses ...

Computer modeling has helped a team of scientists to decode previously unknown details about the 'budding' process by which HIV forces cells to spread the virus to other cells. The findings may offer ...
