Researchers at Kumamoto University have uncovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which human T-cell leukemia ...

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on migrating cells. Viruses rely on efficient movement between cells to ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped virologists pull off something that used to take years of trial and error: crippling ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own 'self-care' system of clearing away useless molecules to suppress the host proteins that the ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have found that respiratory viruses can wake up dormant cancer cells in the lungs. They exposed mice to COVID-19 or the flu. In both ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

Viruses possess a formidable ability to enter our cells to multiply there, thus triggering diseases. However, a team from ...
