Learn how the herpes virus hijacks immune pathways to trigger reactivation and what this means for potential new treatments.

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex ...

Scientists have a new target to prevent cold sores -- and genital herpes flare-ups caused by the same virus -- after ...

The virus can also be passed through skin-to-skin contact when the virus is active in someone without symptoms (referred to as asymptomatic shedding). Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the type ...

A new study reveals that the herpes virus can hijack the immune system to reactivate itself. Researchers found that the viral ...

Herpes has long been known to lie dormant in the body, waiting for the right moment to strike. But new research has revealed ...

This fundamental manuscript comprehensively examines the roles of nine structural proteins in herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) assembly and nuclear egress. By integrating cryo-light microscopy and soft ...

Scientists have a new target to prevent cold sores after University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers discovered an unexpected way the herpes virus re-activates in the body.
