The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of biology.

Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage ...

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal viruses become capable of sparking human epidemics and pandemics. Using a ...

Learn how scientists identified genetic clues that distinguish natural viral spillovers from lab-handled viruses — and why ...

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

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 ...

Stopping viruses before they strike is a key challenge in public health. A research team led by Associate Professor Li Dan from the Department of Food Science and Technology at National University of ...

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

A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.

Scientists at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have reported an important advance in the effort to stop Epstein Barr virus (EBV), a virus believed to infect about 95% of people worldwide. EBV has been linked ...

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 ...
