Scientists uncovered the structure of the key protein for a future hepatitis C vaccine — here’s how New tech allows the fragile HCV E1E2 protein to be photographed.

Around 300,000 people die from hepatitis C every year. A new study has mapped the protein complex that enables the virus to infect our cells, potentially paving the way for an effective vaccine.

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the main cause of chronic hepatitis worldwide. Chronic hepatitis ultimately results in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma 1, 2 (HCC).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) gains entry into host cells via envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2. Here, El Omari et al.present the crystal structure of the N terminus of the E1 ectodomain of HCV and show ...

The research, led by the MRC-University of Glasgow Center for Virus Research (CVR) in collaboration with the University of Sydney, uses AI protein structure prediction to examine hundreds of ...

Researchers from Osaka University unpicked how hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) evade the immune system to cause chronic infection. By studying interactions of the HCV core ...

The capsid of the hepatitis B virus has a very unique structure. It is composed of many monomers which interact to provide flexibility to its structure and function. Skip to: The hepatitis B virus ...

You might think that hepatitis C only happens in adults, but children get the liver disease, too. Find out how kids can get it, the ways doctors diagnose the disease, and what kind of medicine ...

Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (Harvoni) is one of the most effective treatments for hepatitis C. Learn about how the drug works, who can take it, its risks, side effects, cost, and more.

Recent progress in the development of several highly active, anti-hepatitis C drugs has been a triumph of modern medicine. These drugs usher in an era of effective treatment and even elimination ...

This video shows the newly identified 3D structure of the E1E2 protein on the surface of the hepatitis C virus. The two main subunits of the protein are colored in pink and blue. Sugar molecules ...
