Cold sores caused by the herpes virus resurface under stress; now, scientists have discovered the cellular mechanism that allows this to happen, according to research published in Cell Host and Microbe. About 90 percent of the U.S. population have the herpes simplex virus, which leads to cold sores, recurrent eye infections, genital lesions and encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain with a 30 percent mortality rate — or 70-80 percent if left untreated.

Scientists looking at the anti-viral mechanisms of two previously identified human monoclonal antibodies have found they potently inhibit chikungunya virus at multiple stages of infection. Funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, scientists at Blood Systems Research Institute in San Francisco and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that neutralizing antibodies that engage epitopes including residue E2-W64 are highly potent at inhibiting the virus in mice, due to the importance of E2-W64 in pathogenicity.
