Ebola virus
Researchers Find "Key" Used by Ebola Virus to Unlock Cells and Spread Deadly Infection


Findings Published in Nature Could Lead to Drugs that Thwart Outbreaks

August 24, 2011 — (Bronx, NY) — Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have helped identify a cellular protein that is critical for infection by the deadly Ebola virus. The findings, published in today's online edition of Nature, suggest a possible strategy for blocking infection due to Ebola virus, one of the world's most lethal viruses and a potential bioterrorism agent.

The study was a collaborative effort involving scientists from Einstein, the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Harvard Medical School, and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases [AKA USAMRIID].
