New model predicts HCC risk in noncirrhotic chronic hepatitis B patients, improving early detection strategies.

Hepatitis B (sometimes referred to as hep B) is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It typically causes symptoms like stomach pain, dark urine, fatigue, fever, jaundice (yellowing ...

Influenza type B viruses are not classified by subtype and do not cause pandemics. Different strains of the flu virus mutate over time and replace the older strains. This is why it's important to ...

The Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would halt federal funding, at least temporarily, for a risky and controversial kind of research into viruses that makes the pathogens ...

The experimental data is compelling and opens the door to generating and testing novel anti-HBV therapies. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health problem, with chronic ...

The president of Tanzania has confirmed a case of the Marburg virus in the country. Marburg belongs to the same family of illnesses as Ebola and can cause death in up to 88% of cases. President ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the large protein and phosphoprotein). Not only that, but they also ...
