For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

New research from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and Masonic Cancer Center is providing important new insights into the structure of a human virus that causes blood cancer. In their ...

The tiny shell protecting the HIV virus resembles a slightly rounded ice cream cone, but there is nothing sweet about it. More than 40 million people worldwide live with AIDS because of this virus, ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

New research from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and Masonic Cancer Center is providing important new insights into the structure of ...

The study of viral mechanics and imaging techniques has rapidly advanced our understanding of virus structure, function, and infection. Integrating state‐of‐the‐art imaging methods with mechanical ...

A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...

The words “herpes” and “spread” in the same sentence don’t typically spell good news. Unless, that is, you’re talking about a busybody new virus. That virus includes designer DNA called a gene drive ...

Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.

University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oceanographers have identified PelV-1, a dinoflagellate-infecting giant virus whose micron-length tail reaches 2.3 µm, stretching current notions of viral architecture.
