Virion’s lead TIP, VH244, is an optimized RNA molecule designed for the treatment and prevention of respiratory virus infections (RVIs).

Studies on SARS-CoV-2 have discovered that these virus particles can bind to the alveolar pneumocytes of humans through their interaction with ACE2.

A virion is “the complete, infective form of a virus outside a host cell, with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid.” It is the infectious form of the virus as it moves between cells and hosts. A year ...

A SARS-CoV-2 virion (a single virus particle) is about 80 nanometers in diameter. The pathogen is a member of the coronavirus family, which includes the viruses responsible for SARS and MERS ...

In contrast, multi-virion complexes and other forms of collective infectious units may enable the co-transmission of different genetic variants of a virus, regardless of population bottlenecks 3.

Careful cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies of many copies of the virion can reveal more precise measurements of the virus and its larger pieces.

The World’s Largest Virus Was Just Resurrected From 34,000-Year-Old Permafrost It’s not a threat to humans, but does show that ancient viruses can persist for millennia and remain a potential ...

Each virion is a protein shell containing a complete copy of the virus's genetic code. The virions can then infect other cells and cause disease.

--Virion Therapeutics, LLC, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel T cell-based immunotherapies, and its Joint Venture partner, Ocean Biomedical, Inc., today announced that the ...

Virion Biotherapeutics announced Monday that Vanessa King and Isabel Najera have signed on as CEO and chief scientific officer, respectively. King has held a number of business development and ...

Soap can dissolve the fatty envelope on the outer part of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, leading to the destruction of the whole virus particle.
