University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages (viruses that infect bacteria). The phages assessed ...

Viruses have spent billions of years perfecting the art of invading cells, hijacking their machinery and spreading with ruthless efficiency. Now researchers are turning that evolutionary expertise ...

A common flu virus could be used to overcome patients' resistance to certain cancer drugs -- and improve how those drugs kill cancer cells, according to new research from Queen Mary University of ...

Scientists have found a way to make one of the most aggressive brain tumors vulnerable to the immune system. A single injection of a modified virus can invade glioblastoma, kill cancer cells, and ...

Viruses can "eavesdrop" on each other using chemical signals - but it can backfire for the eavesdropper, new research ...

A UCLA-led international research team showed that fragments of digested proteins from the virus behind COVID-19 can attack certain immune cells that have spiky shapes, such as the T cell above. New ...

A UCLA research team has found a new way to prompt the immune system to kill cells infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a life-threatening infection that is particularly deadly in immunocompromised ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

More than 200,000 children succumb to viral gastroenteritis infections, or stomach flu, all over the world every year. 1 Human astroviruses are a common cause of such infections, leading to diarrhea, ...

The characteristics of the protein that allows Marburg virus to enter human cells so efficiently – 300 times more efficiently than Ebola – have been identified. University of Minnesota (MN, USA) ...
