Hidden weak spots in HIV and Ebola revealed with breakthrough nanodisc technology A new nanodisc-based platform lets scientists study viral proteins in a form that closely mimics real viruses, revealing how antibodies truly recognize them. This approach uncovered hidden interactions in viruses like HIV and Ebola that traditional methods missed. By recreating the virus’s membrane environment, researchers can better understand how immune defenses work. The technique could speed up the development of more effective vaccines. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260411022027.htm
