Receptor for Ebola virus identified Date: May 3, 2011 Source: University of Iowa Health Care Summary: Researchers have identified a cellular protein that acts as a receptor for Ebola virus and ...

The research, published Thursday in the journal Cell, identified a genetic mutation called GP-A82V that was likely responsible for 90 percent of Ebola cases in the 2013-2016 epidemic.That outbreak ...

Engineers and microbiologists have developed a simple model for virus-host cell interaction driven by Ebola's adhesion to cell surface receptors. The findings could provide new information to help ...

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.

The 2025 study looked at which bat species have this protein receptor, how strongly their receptors bind to Ebola, and whether the species live in areas that have experienced outbreaks in the past.

This post was originally published on Aug. 21 and updated on Sep. 30 to reflect the latest numbers from the World Health Organization. As of Sep. 30, the Ebola virus had killed more than 3,000 ...

The Ebola virus binded poorly to straw-colored fruit bats’ NPC1 receptor. “That really struck me,” said Anthony, who helped discover the sixth known ebolavirus strain, Bombali virus. “It became clear ...

These receptors are involved in cholesterol transport, so statins could potentially be used to help treat Ebola. "With this mouse model, we will be able to identify other host targets that might ...

When the hybrid virus is delivered to airway cells, the modified Ebola protein acts like a key that fits into a lock, or receptor, on the top surface of the airway cells.

On binding to cell-surface receptors, Ebola virus is internalized and sequestered within an endosome. A recent study by Chandran and colleagues 1 shows that two endosomal proteases, cathepsin B ...
