A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...

For decades, biology textbooks have drawn a firm line: viruses are not alive. They lack the machinery to reproduce on their ...

New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...

A virus that is big enough to be seen under an ordinary light microscope co-opt its host’s systems with the help of ...

A new study suggests that people may experience the same virus differently based on how quickly the cells in their noses respond to the virus and contain it.

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare but serious brain infection. It gradually destroys brain tissue ...

Researchers found that Herpes simplex virus type 1 reorganizes nuclear speckles, essential sites for RNA processing. Without intact speckles, viral messenger RNAs cannot exit the nucleus, limiting ...

Scientists discover how yellow fever and encephalitis viruses enter human cells, and block them with decoy molecules.

A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...

Nearly all adults carry Epstein–Barr virus—but new research reveals how it can hijack immune cells, sparking a chronic disease that attacks the body from within. This colorized transmission electron ...
