Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers examine the interactions between the influenza A virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Viruses use the molecular repertoire of the host cell to replicate. Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2 at the University of Bonn, together with Japanese researchers, want to ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

A new study, by Dr. Michael Martynowycz from the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI), and researchers at UCLA, and HHMI, reveals how viruses hijack cellular condensates to assemble and ...

Viroids are tiny strands of circular, infectious RNA. They differ from viruses in that they do not have a protective protein coat and that they do not encode any proteins of their own. They are also ...
