For the first time, scientists have captured how new antiviral drugs halt the herpes virus in real time as it tries to ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead of spreading one virus at a time, infected cells bundle viral material into ...

A drug once designed for dengue virus, then quietly abandoned by industry, is suddenly back in the spotlight, and it may be ...

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on migrating cells. Viruses rely on efficient movement between cells to ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...

Red ginseng can help block influenza A by activating the body’s natural ability to eliminate virus-infected cells, a research team from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology said on ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects more than 250 million people worldwide and can lead to chronic liver disease and liver cancer ...

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 ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...
