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 ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, have uncovered a crucial trick used by enteroviruses—the group behind diseases like polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and even the common ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced microscopy method. The findings provide new insight into how the virus replicates ...

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 ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate ...

A team of scientists at University of Massachusetts Medical School have used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to determine which human proteins the Zika virus needs to replicate — a discovery which ...

Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body's ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new ...

Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Subscribe to our ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought. Corroborating the virus-first ...

Biochemists focus on the chemistry of living things. They play an important role in discovering and describing how viruses make people sick. Biochemists also contribute to the development of vaccines ...
