Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a microscopic needle from DNA that can punch through a cell’s outer membrane and ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a DNA nanostructure shaped like a bacteriophage needle that can recognize ...

Langone researchers discovered that oral herpes viruses loosen the centers of cells in order to replicate more effectively in a host cell. In their March study, researchers including first author Nora ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...

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.

More than 200,000 children succumb to viral gastroenteritis infections, or stomach flu, all over the world every year. 1 Human astroviruses are a common cause of such infections, leading to diarrhea, ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...

An ancient viral infection may have given animals the tools to become fast, coordinated and smart, a study has found. According to a paper published Thursday in Cell, complex nervous systems arose in ...
