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

Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...

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

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Foamy viruses (FVs) are a unique group of retroviruses that have co-evolved with their animal hosts for hundreds of millions of years. Unlike other retroviruses, FVs are generally considered ...

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

Researchers at Utah State University revealed new details about CRISPR immune system defenses, such as Cas12a3 systems, that ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...

Researchers reveal structure of ancient viral protein appearing in breast cancer, lupus, and ALS, opening new paths for ...

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 ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

The emergence of T-cell therapy has fundamentally reshaped the approach to preventing and treating viral infections in patients undergoing allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
