When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

A new study shows that the body’s early immune response, not the virus itself, often determines how severe a rhinovirus cold ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

In a new study, we and an international team scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

To understand how these wintertime nuisances unfold, why they can be so variable and how to make them less miserable, researchers at Yale School of Medicine cultivated miniature models of nasal ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons ...
