Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

New structural insights reveal a clever new use of antibodies to treat and possibly prevent infections by on the of the world ...

University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages (viruses that infect bacteria). The phages assessed ...

The characteristics of the protein that allows Marburg virus to enter human cells so efficiently – 300 times more efficiently than Ebola – have been identified. University of Minnesota (MN, USA) ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

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 ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...
