A groundbreaking study reveals that human cells initiate self-destruction processes when viruses disrupt RNA production, ...

When scientists study viruses, they first grow the virus by infecting producer cells in a lab setting. This gives the virus a host that it uses to replicate itself, allowing researchers to observe ...

Biochemists focus on the chemistry of living things. They play an important role in discovering and describing how viruses make people sick. Biochemists also contribute to the development of vaccines ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, ...

The world’s largest bat organoid platform, which promises improvement in the study of zoonotic viruses, has been newly developed by scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. By ...

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve. But ...

This article examines key innovations driving scalable, high-yield purification of recombinant AAVs and how they’re helping ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered more than 100 new human viruses in 252 different gut microbes, ...

As winter melts away, the Aedes mosquito population rises with the temperature. When these mosquitoes puncture host skin to feed with their needle-like probosces, they often transmit pathogens like ...
