A Korean research team has developed a new viral vector technology that significantly improves the production efficiency of ...

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 ...

Scientists found tiny cell "footprints" that influenza viruses may use to spread, opening new paths for antiviral research.

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own 'self-care' system of clearing away useless molecules to suppress the host proteins that the ...

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged campaign against a chronic condition—like a viral infection or cancer—the body ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research ...

The herpes virus is an infection that often causes painful blisters on the mouth and or genitals. Interestingly, the viral infection is common and is associated with cold sores, mononucleosis or ‘mono ...

Viruses deliberately slow themselves down inside mosquitoes, allowing the insects to carry and spread disease for life ...

The increase in mosquito-borne virus infections is a growing public health concern. Diseases traditionally confined to tropical or subtropical regions, like dengue or West Nile virus, are expanding ...

Mosquitoes carry some of the world's deadliest viruses, biting victim after victim for their entire lives without ever ...
