A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...
A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...
The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...
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 ...
Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses use distinct strategies to infiltrate cells in the first place. They also ...
In this report, we demonstrate antiviral efficiency and safety of these inhibitors in vitro and shed light on a largely general effect of metabolic interference on the function of the viral polymerase ...
Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...
Influenza A viruses (IAV) represent a major threat to human and animal health. Wild aquatic birds are the main natural reservoir of IAV as they maintain multiple antigenically and genetically distinct ...
