The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral signaling. The findings clarify an early defense step and may inform ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies 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 ...

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 ...

If your holiday season activities include a luxury cruise or feasting on raw oysters, then beware: Norovirus, a gastrointestinal RNA virus that can cause nausea and diarrhea, could be an unwelcome ...

Prevention remains critical; but once symptoms appear, treatment options are extremely limited. Because rabies hides behind a complex molecular shield, it is nearly impossible to fight. “For more than ...

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 ...
