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

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead of spreading one virus at a time, infected cells bundle viral material into ...

Virus-built silver appears much more effective against bacteria than commercial silver. In A Nutshell Lab safety tests showed ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical ...

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 ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

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 ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — One of the first things the general of any army does before a battle is scout the terrain. Without seeing and understanding the battlefield, the issues of tactics, strategy and ...
