The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...
Viruses Go Lytic or Latent, Based on Viral DNA Mechanics September 5, 2018. When viral DNA is more “liquidy,” it is more easily injected into host cells—so easily, in fact, that multiple ...
A novel curcumin derivative, C210, activates the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) lytic cycle without producing infectious virions by disrupting HSP90. This discovery opens avenues for safer EBV ...

Viruses in different life cycles can promote elemental cycling (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) ... and the preferential encapsulation of lytic products by soil aggregates.
Oncogenic Herpesvirus Utilizes Stress-Induced Cell Cycle Checkpoints for Efficient Lytic Replication. PLOS Pathogens , 2016; 12 (2): e1005424 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1005424 Cite This Page : ...
But by switching that viral lytic process back on in these cancer cells by using epigenetic signaling, we’re effectively getting the virus to kill the cancer cells that it’s responsible for in ...
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes long-term infections leading to Kaposi sarcomas and can go through either latent or lytic cycle. When KSHV is reactivated, ORF57 (or Mta or ...
In comparison to broad-spectrum antibiotics, viruses used for personalized phage therapy infect only targeted pathogenic bacteria without harming beneficial species, which reduces the risk of phage ...
