An analysis of CIRDC, dissecting the polymicrobial nature of the syndrome and outlining standards for diagnostic testing.

Using AI, researchers identified one tiny molecular interaction that viruses need to infect cells. Disrupting it stopped the ...

In an article published in Nature Microbiology, scientists reveal the existence of numerous new lineages of mirusviruses, ...

A virus may be microscopic, but it contains thousands of nucleic acid bases strategically packaged into a protein shell. Knowing how the virus organizes these vast information stores in a compact ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

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.

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

Viruses often use glycans to shield themselves from the immune system of an infected host, but in this case, the structural data showed that HCV's glycans apparently have another key role: in helping ...

A wreath of ten crAssviruses – hugely abundant viruses that infect gut bacteria and are part of your normal, healthy ...
