The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses. Said ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...

A research team has developed a new RNA-based system that can detect coronavirus infection in real time inside living cells—and even trigger antiviral responses only when infection occurs.

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Like these substances, influenza viruses must also attach to molecules on the cell surface. The dynamics are like surfing on the surface of the cell: the virus scans the surface, attaching to a ...

Ancient DNA reveals that childhood viruses lived with humans for thousands of years, reshaping how we understand human and ...

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

Although bioprocessors employ cell cultures to develop new treatments for viral infections, viral contamination can stymy any cell culture-based process, including the development of most any ...

CAR T cell therapy is one of the most promising new cancer treatments to emerge in recent years. It involves removing a patient's own immune T cells and engineering them to recognize specific targets ...
