Scientists have discovered a shocking new way viruses can spread — and it’s faster and deadlier than ever. Meet “Migrions,” a ...

Viruses possess a formidable ability to enter our cells to multiply there, thus triggering diseases. However, a team from ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release.

Researchers discovered a hidden molecular “switch” that herpes viruses rely on to invade cells. By combining AI, simulations, ...

Washington State University researchers have found a way to modulate a common virus protein to prevent viruses from entering ...

Viruses are masters at taking over our cells: They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes ...

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.
