A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

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 Washington State University has just shown that by targeting a ...

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

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, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...

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 ...

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

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.
