May 10, 2021 By engineering a short chunk of protein, or peptide, that can prevent the attachment of human parainfluenza viruses to cells, researchers have improved a method in rodent models intended to help keep ...
Oct. 13, 2022 Researchers have discovered new RNA bacteriophages, viruses that attack bacteria, advancing understanding of virus ...
Feb. 5, 2024 Virus family history could help scientists identify which strains have potential to become the so-called Disease X that causes the next global ...
June 25, 2021 A new study could help scientists mitigate the future spread of zoonotic and livestock diseases caused by existing viruses. Researchers have used a form or artificial intelligence (AI) called ...
Mar. 29, 2022 Infections with hepatitis C and E are so common that, going only by statistics, many people should be infected with both viruses at the same time. However, only very few such cases have been ...
Apr. 20, 2021 The observation that most of the viruses that cause human diseases come from other animals has led some researchers to attempt 'zoonotic risk prediction' to second-guess the next virus to ...
Oct. 18, 2022 Remnants of ancient viruses in the human genome are active in healthy tissues as well as diseased ones, limiting their utility as disease biomarkers, according to a new ...
Oct. 15, 2021 Researchers have described a novel host strategy for combating viruses such as measles virus that affect the mitochondria, structures within the cell. The presence of the RNA genome of the measles ...
May 10, 2021 After infection, SARS-CoV-2 causes the host cell to produce new virus particles and suppresses host cell defence mechanisms. Virus protein nsP3 plays a central role in the latter process. Using ...
June 16, 2021 An analysis of 18 species of stationary and migratory bats living in Switzerland has discovered that they harbor viruses from 39 different viral families -- including some viruses with the potential ...
