Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a common virus linked to birth defects and chronic illness manipulates ...

A mutation on the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19 could help it infect the brain by forcing it to use a cellular "back door." ...

Viruses typically contain either DNA or RNA as genetic information typically enclosed in a protein shell. Viruses infect all ...

The COVID-19 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate.

A suppressed immune response allows the virus to replicate more, resulting in increased transmissibility and ultimately increased mortality, he explained.

They extensively investigated how the H5N1 virus replicates and spreads after different inoculation routes.

Remarkably, when the HTLV-1 silencer was artificially inserted into HIV-1—the virus that causes AIDS—the HIV virus adopted a more latent-like state, with reduced replication and cell killing.

An antibody originally designed to combat dengue virus may also inhibit the spread of Zika virus in vulnerable areas of the ...

Researchers have developed CAPPSID, a novel cancer therapy that teams bacteria and viruses to infiltrate and destroy tumors.
