Efficient intercellular viral spread is critical for pathogenesis and virulence. In a study published in Science Bulletin, researchers from Peking University Health Science Center and Harbin ...

A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...

Viral membrane proteins are the proteins of choice in vaccines but are difficult to produce quickly and reliably for use in vaccines, limiting rapid response during emerging outbreaks. Researchers ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic ...

Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...

A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...

More than 200,000 children succumb to viral gastroenteritis infections, or stomach flu, all over the world every year. 1 Human astroviruses are a common cause of such infections, leading to diarrhea, ...
