How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian flu viruses can also use a ...

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 ...

H5N1 avian influenza is highly pathogenic and has been devastating bird populations worldwide. It continues to do so, and is also moving into new animals, like skunks, bears, raccoons, cats, and dairy ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, but new research led by scientists at Penn State reveals a deliberate ...

In a new study, we and an international team scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

To understand how these wintertime nuisances unfold, why they can be so variable and how to make them less miserable, researchers at Yale School of Medicine cultivated miniature models of nasal ...
